Then you get this little beauty:
So what's gone wrong?
Nine times out of 10, you're looking at an image so large that the server couldn't handle the upload.
Check the size of your photo. (Easiest way? If you're using a PC, right-click on the image and select "properties." "Size" is usually right in the middle of the box. If you're using a Mac, you're kind of on your own, though if memory serves "Apple-i" gets you some information.)
If it's a bit on the hefty side (anywhere from 50 KB up to a meg or so), make it smaller. Remember, your photo should be no more than 450 pixels wide and the "DPI" should be set no higher than 71. Anything larger than that, you run the risk of choking the system.
I have a few details on how to size a photo further down in this entry, though I should probably do a larger entry on it later. (Look for it, I guess.)
How big, exactly, is "too big"? I can't put my finger on it, exactly, but as a rule of thumb, try to keep your photos from not getting much larger than 20 or 30-odd Kilobytes.
And, as always, if none of this makes any sense, contact me.
