Inserting an Image
WordPress authors can insert images into wordpress either as links or by uploading the image directly into the WordPress engine. Linking to images is semi-risky as resources might shift about and not be displayed, unless you control them. If you are uploading images, be sure to upload optimized or web-friendly images (in other words, don’t upload raw images of a whaling expedition you went on last summer).
Advanced image searches in Google will allow you much finer turned searching for image file types and sizes. It also enables you to limit your searches to items in the public domain, which will help prevent copyright infringement. An equivalent search engine exists on Flickr.
Click on the “Add an image button” from near the text “add media”. Upload your file or insert the image based on the url.
