WalkGood, the system won't generally allow more than 10 pics in one post, so that much is a system limitation. The two-pic limit in the final entry is more for voting purposes - pick your best shots, as when the voters go to view entries, that's what you really want them to see.
Teaser posts are not required, but can be fun. Typically it's just a showing of some or all of your ingredients, with or without "Proof of Life". If you don't include PoL in your teaser or prep pics, though, you must include it in your final post. Trust me, sometimes I've forgotten and have had to retake pics - much better to get that out of the way in an early teaser.

WalkGood- you can post several pictures of your prep, ingredients, cooking, the neighbor's dogs...whatever...smack talk...BUT your final official post needs to follow the format linked in the OP of this thread. Hope you can join the fun! Don't worry, just post early enough that if you miss something, someone will mention it and you can fix it before the deadline.
