  See http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/images-the-three-link-options/

  You ought to be able to upload files in two ways: by going to Media → Add New from your dashboard http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/media-add-new/ or by clicking the new Add Media button right above the editing area of a page or a post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/add-media/

  Thanks, I have tried that. For some reason, the new way of uploading photos does not seem to be working. The “uploaded image” is a bunch of words and symbols instead of the selected photo.
