You can only post photos at the beginning of each step. Check out step 3 in this Instructable.

But you didn't add any steps. You need to press the "add step" button in the editor. Then you can break up the pictures into each step.

I will do that in my next tutorial because i just found about instructables today so I'm uploading some of my old home-made projects...

Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I'm inspired to try one.
A clarification that I needed is, which has been holding me back from trying this, is that once you have the tripod is there a way by which I can remotely take photos and videos on an Android device. I have not come across a decent app or hardware which will enable me to do that.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, I don't have one, but I think that there are remotes that do that. I think that if you search for "Selfie remote" you'll find one. Just make sure that it works with your phone :)
