Same with me - I can't publish. I thought it could be because I didn't have a thumbnail image, but just uploaded one and it still won't publish...

WHAT'S GOING ON?????!?!?!?

Kiteman has the most accurate answer, but if you give me a link to your unpublished work I'll take a quick look.

I'm going to assume you're publishing a step-by-step.

If both images are on one step, then the system will register your project as "too short, possibly spam".

Try re-writing your project as a photo instructable, or spreading out your images and instructions over three or four steps.

If you need to, take more photos (maybe use photoshop to make an attractive introduction photo?).

Without more information, its hard to say for sure what the problem is, but its sounds like you may be missing a main image. Without one, the publishing process will alert you to this and will not allow you to continue until you add the image and then save it.

If that's not the problem, can you provide a link to the temporary URL?
