I am trying to upload a picture of my pie for the Pi contest with no luck. Any suggestions.?

I have found that I usually cannot upload photos directly from my computer to my Instructables Library. There must be some sort of browser compatibility issue.

Uploading the photos to Flickr and then going into your Instructables account and loading the pictures into your Library from Flickr works really well.

The Flickr account is free, you can set viewing restrictions on who sees the photos on the Flickr site, and you can make each batch of pictures a set so they don't get mixed up with all the pictures from your other instructables or vacations, etc.

Make sure the pictures are sharp, well lighted and good colour.

Make sure they show the best side.

Can you be more specific and explain what you are doing (and where) and what happens?

I'd like to help, but I need more information from you.
