    I have been added as an author to the above blog but I can’t see how I can add pictures. How can I “sign in” to be able to do this? New to WordPress but can’t find the help page that describes what to do.

    Thanks!

    You sign in to your account here, that one that was added to the blog you reference. Then you click either on the “blog” button in the left side of the grey admin bar at the top of the browser window, or if you have other blogs, hover over “blogs” and a dropdown will appear where you can select that blog and go to the dashboard.

    First go to users > all users and look in that list and make sure you are set as an “author” and not as a “contributor.” Contributors cannot upload or add images. Only authors and above can.

    In the post editor, there is a line of grey icons above the main toolbar in the editor and the left one is “add an image”. You click there and then you will be able to upload and add an image to the post.
