  Hi there, I am fairly new to the site and have just uploaded my first post. I thought I had included an image in the middle of my post but it’s just showing a tiny box with a question mark in it. After looking through the help topics I can see to add a picture I have to use the add media button, I don’t seem to have this button? Please help

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you tried to use the new post button in the Reader you won’t see it. There are currently some problems with the New Post button in the Reader. Staff has advised us to use the post editor in the main dashboard instead. You will find the Add Media button there.

  Go to your blog’s main dashboard (http://anothercleanyoungmess.wordpress.com/wp-admin/) and create a new post by clicking on Posts ->Add New in the sidebar menu. You’ll find creating posts this way is much more stable and provides many more options for making it look exactly like you want. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/new-post-screen/ Existing posts you can edit by going to Posts ->All Posts and clicking the Edit link under the post title.

  See here for inserting images from the post editor: http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/
