Any Ravelry experts out there?

I think I'm Social-Networking-Challenged.  I can't figure out how to add a picture to a pattern that I uploaded to Ravelry.  I've been fooling around with it for an hour now, and I've just about reached my frustration limit. There's a box on the side for a photo, but I can't find a place to actually add it.  I was able to add photos of the project on my project page, just not on the actual patten.  Rrrrr.  If you are a Ravelry expert, please take pity on me and tell me what I'm doing wrong. 

I so admire all of you amazing bloggers out there who find a way to balance Pinterest, Ravelry, Hookey, Twitter, Facebook, your blog, creating new patterns, finish old projects, and still have time to have a life outside of it all.  I am having a hard time finding balance.  I found myself crocheting like a mad woman in the dark at the drive-in theater last night, while Mims and Jake watched a movie, because I needed to finish up the project for an upcoming post.  

Wait. Maybe that is me finding balance.  At least I didn't stay home...

Okay, well, I am still frustrated with my ignorance of Ravelry.  Please comment below if you've got any suggestions for me.  I will reward you with double Dynamo points!

xoxo

    Latest update:

    So I've messed the pattern up so much that there was no possible way to fix it myself. I managed to not link myself to the pattern, which means I can't add anything to it or edit it or anything. I will keep you updated when I get it all straightened out!

    Woot! Got it all straightened out, and have learned a valuable lesson about how *not* to enter patterns in the future. But the bright side is, I'm now able to enter patterns on Ravelry!! Yippee!!

    I have found that my iPad (which rules my days) cannot do everything bloggers are supposed to be able to do. Sometimes I have to use my laptop to get a certain change or result, but the it's straight back to my iPad. This is especially true of photos so if you are using a pad, consider it.

    Hi Boocoos! Thank you so much! I wish my mistake was caused by an iPad, but alas, it was just me completely screwing the whole thing up. But the help forum people at Ravelry are super nice! So, it was a good learning experience for me. LOL!!!
