There are several ways to do this but I am not comfortable with putting a link to my images on a hosting site (and I like the simplest way)
So I use this approach.
Enter your text and then when you get to the spot where you want to post a picture (or click once on the spot you want it to appear)
Click on the "Insert Image" icon (the one to the left of the "film strip")
Then select the "From Computer" tab (not the URL).
Click on "Select Files" and you can then select the picture/s you want (Up to 8 maximum) from your computer directories
Select the ones you want all at the same time (by holding down the Ctrl key while you click on each one)
Then select Open
(or if you want you can just select one and repeat the process for the others one at a time)
When you have selected the picture/s you want click on the "upload file/s" button and your images will be added to the post.
Note that the images will be small, to make them larger you can check out the How To How to increase the size of images you post on here
NOTE
Your images MUST be less than 2meg in size, ideally around 1.5 meg to be sure.
If your image file size is too large the upload will fail for that image.
To reduce your pictures to a smaller size you can use an image editor (you normally have one as standard - such as Microsoft Paint)
Open the picture in "Paint" (or similar) and use the resize option in there to reduce the file size. In "Paint" you enter a percentage reduction (I use a reduction of 50 and that is often enough) Save the image and THEN recheck the file size (in properties) AFTER you have saved it. Repeat until the image properties are less than 1.5 meg in size). The image should then upload when you try again.
If your image is upside down or on its side when you have added them to your post this can be corrected (or better still avoided) by merely opening the image in Paint (or similar) and rotate it (even though it may well look right anyway) then rotate it back again so that it is correct and then save the file again (you can do this at the same time as you resize if you want, but resizing often saves it correctly anyway.)
Corrections and additions / comments welcome!
