I've got it figured out now, I think. What you do is, get your gpx file
of your travels uploaded, then when you see it in your account on
openstreetmap, view it and click on edit. Then, use the editor in the
web browser like tracing paper to put in ways as a string of nodes. Then
click in between two nodes to select the whole of the new way and set
its properties to footpath, motorway, or whatever it is.

It can take a while for the map on the web site to render against your
new data, but it does work.
