Typically that means there is something wrong with the image you are trying to upload. Here are some tips:
When creating and uploading an image to wordpress.com here are some basics worth remembering:
(1) Be sure your image is one of these file types – jpg, jpeg, png, gif (Note that bmp’s cannot be uploaded due to size).
(2) Do not use anything in the file name except letters and numbers. Use no spaces, no dashes, no underscores, or any type of special character or punctuation, except for the dot between the file name and the extension. Also make sure that the file name has an extension.
(3) If you are not using the image in thumbnail size, make sure that the image is not too wide for the post area in your particular theme. You can find maximum image widths for the most popular themes here: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/09/25/how-big-can-my-images-be/
(4) Optimize your images so that your blog pages will load faster. See http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/08/optimise-your-images/ -

When you save it, you have to choose jpg or png rather than bmp. You might have to do so under “save as” rather than just “save”.

I need help posting a picture. I’m not expert in doing this. I need someone telling me step by step, I’m new in this kind actions.
Where do I start it? Where is the right place to do it. I see a place to browse videos, slideshows but not pictures.
How proceed it? -
So you know, you’d be better off creating a new thread for a question next time; we don’t always see new questions if there are a number of replies. Or if you have a look at some other past threads, you might find your answer. :)
Anyway, the first thing is you need to have your image stored somewhere online so that you can use it in your blog. There are two ways you can do it; one is to upload it through WordPress, which you do as you’re writing a post by clicking Upload and Browse beneath your editor; that should insert it right into your post, very simple.
Another is to host it somewhere like Flickr, which is a photo host; the advantage of that is you don’t take up any space on WordPress and you can use your picture in a few more sizes. You just go to Flickr, upload a photo there, and then come back here. There’s a little button in your editor; it looks like a tree. Your get your image’s url (its unique address) from Flickr and copy it in there; click insert and you’re done. An extra step but most of us find it’s worth it.
You also might want to check out the FAQs as they have some good tips and are quite easy to understand. :)
