  Are you using the New Post button here https://wordpress.com/post/ or the post editor in the main dashboard to create posts? Staff has advised us to use the post editor in the main dashboard instead, as the New Post button is undergoing some changes and is unreliable at present, including adding images: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/where-did-the-add-media-button-go?replies=2#post-1927520

  Go to your blog’s main dashboard (http://shesstillmymum.wordpress.com/wp-admin/) and create a new post by clicking on Posts ->Add New in the sidebar menu. You’ll find creating posts this way is much more stable and provides many more options for making it look exactly like you want. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/new-post-screen/ Existing posts you can edit by going to Posts ->All Posts and clicking the Edit link under the post title.

  See here to insert images using the Add Media button in the post editor: http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/
