-======Installation======
+======Server Configuration======
+Some advanced configuration may be required in order for the Bulk Uploader to perform optimally on your specific server setup.
+=====Folder Permissions=====
 As part of its upload process, the Bulk Uploader addon writes files to a couple of different locations on your server. For this to work correctly, these folders and their contents (including any subfolders) should be write-enabled for the user running the PHP process:
   addons/bulk_uploader/uploads/

 When in doubt, CHMODing these folders to 777 should do the trick. 755 should be sufficient for servers running SuExec, and Windows-based servers should un-set the Read Only flag.
+=====PHP Settings=====
+Bulk Uploads can require large amounts of time and memory to execute fully. Depending on the size of the files you're Bulk Uploading, you may need to adjust PHP's **max_execution_time** or **memory_limit** settings. The Bulk Uploader will attempt to automatically increase those limits for you if possible, but some server configurations may require them to be adjusted manually.
+Often, you can increase those limits via edits to your **php.ini** file. If not, your hosting company may be able to provide further guidance.
