   8 <li>Using a digital camera, your photos will most likely already be on your computer in the right format.</li>

  10 <li>If you're artistic, you might draw a picture using a paint program.</li>

  13 <p>To upload the image, click the "Browse" button on this editing page, and select the image from your hard disk.</p>
