Mary, Since you have a really beautiful Avatar, I am going to assume that you are having problems with the "Projects" pictures.
Then, it looks like you followed my directions . When I first was doing these photos, I got the "dreaded red X" from time to time. I don't know what your issue is, but typically, it is that your picture is too large. The way to get that information from your photos is to hold the mouse pointer over the photo and, after a few seconds, you will see the 'properties' of that photo.
A typical and size easy for the computer to handle would be about 640 x 480 and size of 50.0 kb. These can be somewhat larger and certainly smaller, but if it is something like 4032 x 3024 and size 4.98 MB, that is too large for many programs and general computer usage.
If your pictures are too large you will be having problems sending them via email to family and friends too. So, it is to your advantage to have them smaller. You may already have a software program on your computer to do this. If not, Greg recommends IrfavView, I personally recommend Kodak. Both are excellent, but I feel that Kodak is more user friendly. That, of course, is a personal (and humble) opinion.
I can assist you further if you are still having problems. Just let me know. You are going to be able to do this soon, just give us time to clear up any issues preventing your ability to upload.
