  * etc.

投稿する(とうこうする) is the one you'd most likely see for referring to posting on
forums. It means that you've contributed or submitted something.

更新する(こうしんする) is for blog entries and means you've renewed or updated
something.

アップする and うpする (or just うp) is for uploading (be they photos, videos, or just
generic files). As you'd imagine, the latter is an Internet shorthand which
you'll likely encounter on photo sites or something like YouTube and Nico Nico
Douga. To thank the uploader for some content that was uploaded, you would
say:

> うp主ありがとう！

Watch for this line when browsing video sites, you'll see it a lot. :)
