Hello Suzanne,

Well, I tried last night and again this morning. Last night I typed directly in the box after going the the upload page. I then put in writiers, science fiction (for the lack of a better genre), left the next two blank, wrote in the title, type in a short poem,left the next one blank, left the alignment in default, skipped the vendor thing, cleared the image info, choose the comments and none for nudity, violence and check the last box--it is mine. Hit upload and save  again received the message that it was an invalid image file and it needed to be converted to jpeg etc.

Then this morning I thought if it wants an image I will use the simple one that I posted in the Beginners gallery. I check the length and made sure it was only 28kb. So, I started the same way, writers, sci-fi, except this time I put the image in the thumbnail spot, title, copied the story line by line and pasted it in Notes and Captions, used two words in the next box, aligned it right, skipped the vendors, left the image box, etc. Hit upload and save----got the same message.

There has to be something I'm not doing right---I thought I may have the wrong page but that can't be. It has to be a simple thing I'm missing. It really can't be this difficult.

Thanks, Deb
