  I can’t find an add media button, only set image (that doesn’t work).

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

  You can upload media from within any post or page by clicking on the circle/plus sign at the left in the top row of the Visual Editor.

  And it looks like it’s now possible to add media directly to the Media Library from the “new” Calypso dashboard when you are on this screen https://wordpress.com/media/

  Let us know if you need more help with that.

  Please give me the older link to the editing of a new blog. Your directions, though promising, did not result in exact placement.

  Your “classic” dashboard is here:

  Hmm, odd- Try this link to access the Media Library instead
  https://wordpress.com/media/clarespark.com or
  https://wordpress.com/media/yankeedoodlesoc.wordpress.com

  There is a button at the top of that screen to add new media.

  If you prefer the Media Library in the WP Admin dashboard, you can reach it via https://clarespark.com/wp-admin/upload.php Here too there is a button at the top to add new.

  Let me know how that goes.
