I don't think you can delete your posts because it's an official contest. But I'm sure that you can still try again, after all you never actually posted any pictures. I'm sure they will forgive you for it.

I am correct in assuming you use flicker for your pictures? If so, in order for them to show up. Log into flicker > click on the image you want > look at the bottom of the screen > find an icon that looks like a box with an arrow pointing out of it > click > copy the url > paste the url in your post.

Now if you preview post you will notice that the picture is there however your picture still has an ugly url tail. For me personally, I delete the last 2 lines of the url. I don't think those are necessary. That gets rid of that ugly url tail on your picture. After that you just write in your text for the comic. Do this for all the pictures and your all set.

In the future if you are unsure of how to post pictures you should either use the "preview post" before "submit reply". Or make a practice post in practice thread if one is available. Or even in discussion thread if one is not. Plus I can totally understand your frustration since I went through the exact same type of problems at first when I didn't understand how to post my pictures.
