Have you looked in the wp support section?

hi 1tess, thanks for your posts, yes I’ve tried the support sections, its not working for me – how do i create a url for an image which is on my desktop?
i’d like to be able to add an image in the same way I can when I insert an image into my post – is that possible?

You uploaded image files from your computer to the media library of your blog. You must also upload the file for your logo to your blog.
Here is a url of one of your pictures:

hope this helps

Oops. Step one should be from your dashboard, choose media library, add new, then upload the image from your computer.

Thank you 1tess, so so much – it has worked!
I didnt realise I needed to add to my media library first.Thanks again, you answered my question perfectly!
