I finally decided that my first problems had to do with the case of the
filename. I typed it in as lowercase and it was uppercase. When I used the
browse function to find the file for an upload, all went smoothly.

When I submitted DOLLY: THE BIOGRAPHY early yesterday morning (and it's
already in the collection, by the way; great work!), I got a thank-you
as well for the submission. This was my first submission since the new
site, so I was glad to see that by the time I submitted it.
