I'm not a moderator/reviewer, but I think the best practice would be to include the screenies in the zip file.  That way no one at SimV has to manually add them.

The easiest method of learning anything is by example. I suggest downloading a few existing scenery files to see how they're configured. Choose one that you find easiest to install then configure your own files in the same way.

The file description, install instructions & the thumbnail screenshot should be included in the zipfile.

Yes, the image and description you included inside the zip file is the one that will be used on the web site.  I assume that Pete puts them up manually-probably by just copying and pasting them onto the site.  Thats what it seemed like with the things I made in the past.  Everything should be put into the zip file.
