The image will already be small enough to post, and modern phone cameras cover up a multitude of user sins.

Main precaution is to use flat light so no reflections. (and no shadows from your body and phone)

Use the phone's image editor to straighten things (or shoot over until you get "pitch and yaw" right.)

Go to an image host
Help is here: https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1036&pid=59987
And the host will ask to upload from your camera roll.
