These can have a variety of reasons, from errors in uploading the files, server configuration, or just overlooking the obvious.

		<description><![CDATA[One question that seems to crop up all the time concerns marrying AOM to WordPress.  I just want to briefly discuss some &#8216;hot-to&#8217; and &#8216;not-to&#8217; situations concerning making these two systems work together.
