[Hidden-tech] How can I add a picture when WordPress Add Media button doesn't work?

[Rich Roth]

Shel,
it could be as simple as getting the path right or permission on the files

It sounds like you created the image folder with cpanel -- make sure the 
permission
(for the directory and the image)
is read for the web server - read all or world is typically what it's 
called.
The directory must also be searchable (x on the permissions)

If those are right, then the image url should work like:
http://making-green-sexy.com/images/autumn_twilight_on_Barstow_farm.jpg

That doesn't -- so either it's permission OR the images directory is not 
where you think it is.

Once that is done, safer HTML for the image is:
<img src="/images/autumn_twilight_on_Barstow_farm.jpg"

Note the leading / on the src parameter

Beyond that, hard to do more without access info - email me offline if 
you want me to look deeper
