Trouble uploading to Sketchfab.

Trouble uploading to Sketchfab.  Can't seem to get the texture to upload with the model.  Tried packing it into the Blender file.  Tried adding the texture separately in Sketchfab, which made it show up but not properly arranged on the model.  Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

    I went ahead and continued with the next tutorial, where I am starting now to learn about shading and rendering.  That gave me the idea to come back here and fiddle around with the render settings.  I don't really know what I am doing yet, but I found a combination that made the texture show up in Sketchfab.  I switched to Blender Render, and then found a way to select the ax and add a texture to it in the Properties panel.  Someday when I understand better it will probably be obvious what I was doing wrong here, but just at the moment it is all a bit mysterious.

    Hey Tim, if you add the file to Sketchfab as a base color, one reason you might not see it is if it is too glossy. In the 3D settings, change the Shading setting from Lit to Shadeless. 

    Another thing that might help is watching this course. The last lesson describes the relationship between models and textures, and how to work with them between different programs.
