  Begin by uploading the image from your computer into your Media Library.

  Activating the Image Widget
  First, locate the image you want to use from your Media Library, or upload a new image by going to Media -> Add New in your dashboard. Once the image has been uploaded successfully, copy the URL appearing in the File URL field and paste that into the Image URL field of the Image Widget settings. For further help on uploading an image to your Media Library, please refer to the appropriate documentation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/media-add-new/
