  The best way to do this will be adding the photo with HTML code:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/beginning-html/#images-in-html

  You’ll need to have the image hosted somewhere. I often use Imgur, but you can even just upload the image to your WordPress.com media library.

  Then just add the URL for the image inside a img tag like this:

  <img src="http://placekitten.com/g/200/300">

  Alex, I appreciate the quick reply; but I’m afraid you’ve given me far more credit than I deserve when it comes to understanding WordPress, let alone HTML.

  I’m used to loading my images directly from my hard drive to the Media Library and then imbedding them into my post–very easy.

  I was hoping there would be a similar way to imbed an image into a reply I wanted to make to a comment to my most recent post, is that possible?

  Or do I need to use html code to embed an image into my reply?

  If so, is the code:
  <img src=”http://the location of the photo I want to use that I have placed in the Media Library

  All this is very new to me, so any additional clarification would be most appreciated.

  Bill

  Yes, you do, and you’re on the right track. The template for the HTML you need is this:

  <img src="[image URL]"/>

  Thank you. I had to play around with it a bit, but was able to include a photo in my reply to a comment. Bill
