WordPress Image upload problem
Jan 1st
Today when I was writing the previous post. The screen shot of the free extended task manager didn’t upload. There was an error saying “The parent directory …/wp-content/uploads/2010/01 isn’t writable.”
I opened up the file manager and navigated to the uploads directory. I have had a similar problem before. So, I made a new directory and named it 2010. The default permissions were 755. I changed it to 777 and then tried to upload again. The upload was successful. Now, there won’t be any such problems till jan 1 2011. I’ll have to repeat the process again for the new year 2011.
My web host isn’t a popular one like the Hostgator or Godaddy, so I face some problems like these often. Probably it isn’t optimized for wordpress. Hope I find a way to fix this soon. Otherwise, I’ll have to shift to a better host from may.

Finding great wallpapers couldn’t have been easier. Google image search is one great tool to find some awesome wallpapers for your desktop. It can be done simply by pre/post-fixing the following string after the search term. (replace the width and height with your desktop size.)
imagesize:widthxheight
>> Example
Vector imagesize:1440x900
Or if you want to do it in a graphical interface go to: advanced image search. Now click on the use my
desktop size link and enter a search term in the blue-find box. Click on the Google Search button

I have a 7 megapixel camera and trust me it gets irritating when you have owned it for a while. Reason- I always forget to set it on lesser megapixel mode before taking photos. The results are, huge pictures that are thrice my monitor size and four times the Facebook picture size. Each photo takes up nearly 3mb.
