  This can be caused sometimes by an open tag in your HTML for one of your posts or maybe a text widget. I would start by double checking your most recent posts or the pages you have most recently edited.

  Thanks, Danny. I have no idea what that means. Where do I look for an open tag and where is the HTML? I opened the editor for my previous post and I don’t see any HTML tags there. How would that effect an image upload?

  Don’t mind Danny, the correct answer is mine. Read the thread linked, please.

  galois was directing you to my answer in that thread. Here it is again:

  There has been a change to the post editor interface at https://wordpress.com/post/ and Staff are recommending that we bypass the New Dash in favor of posting directly on our sites at Dashboard > Posts > Add New. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/where-did-the-add-media-button-go?replies=2#post-1927520

  For image uploading please note the Staff response here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-is-there-now-only-small-pictures-in-the-post-can-i-get-them-big-again?replies=3#post-1927594

  There will be further new iterations of the post editor at https://wordpress.com/post/ and that is why the advice is to go to Dashboard > Post > Add New

  For inserting images see http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/
