This one's hard to explain so if you're using this and want to add how you set it up feel free to comment. I'm just going to have a go describing it's set up with screenshots...

wp-content

plugins

Lets give ourselves some permission to change the file.

Then click OK

Now, go back to your website and save changes again and that first message

WARNING: Your spritegen folderis not writeable by the server

will now be replaced with

Good Times!

Great article. Thank you. I'm new so I'm confused about something. Where does www.streetarticles.com come into this? I've been submitting them there. Should I stop that and just go through wordpress only.
