Use your camera's macro mode to take the pic. It helps if you use a tripod or at least steady your hand against something. Make sure you have enough light. Macro pics require pretty bright lighting due to the small size of the focus area.
As far as posting, while the site does have the ability to attach images the file size limit is pretty small. You're better off posting it to an image hosting site like Photobucket and linking the image via URL.

For every decent photo I post I probably take 5-6 of them to get that one. I agree with Shoe about lighting and keeping a steady hand. There's a few threads on here about making a small photo booth for taking jig pics, do a search on photo's and you'll find lots of help
Here is a post made a while back - http://www.jigcraft.com/jigcraft/showthread.php?tid=1126 - that has the steps used to post attachments, but as said by Shoemoo, they can not be over a certain disc size or they will not post. Most times if you change the actual pixel size down to 600x800 or 480x640 and re-save, it will make the disc size small enough to post as an attachment.
As for getting clear pictures, it does take a lot of patience, practice and GOOD LIGHTING. Here is another thread that has discussed some of the details..... http://www.jigcraft.com/jigcraft/showthread.php?tid=5443

I was really dissatisfied with the photo's I was posting until I just happened upon this setup.
The neutral background of the brown coffee filter coupled with the high intensity lamp behind and the flash of my phone's camera is giving me shots like this...
It's not the best but way better than I was getting.

I'm no photographer bit as was already mentioned, LIGHT is the key (and a steady camera). Ideally, in my photo, there shouldn't be any shadow. The subject should be "surrounded" by light, of equal intensity on all sides and of sufficient brightness to bring out the real color's. In my photo, the light is good but back-light is insufficient, which causes the shadow. At least that's my opinion. I have a good friend that is a professional photographer and I'm gonna run this all by him next time he's over.
