Add an Image

There are at least 3 ways to add an image:

1) Double click anywhere on your page, the circular option menu will appear (see image right)

Select the image icon (RED)
Add an image from Google Drive, by URL, by searching Google, or from your Photos folder

-or-

Select the upload file icon (GREEN)
Select an image from your computer

2) Use the Insert menu on the right-hand side, select "Images"

Choose select or upload

3) Copy (Control + "C") and Paste (Control + "V") a picture from elsewhere

IMPORTANT: You can only add images that you own the copyright to (that means you took, drew, painted etc it yourself) OR pictures that are in the public domain OR the author has posted under a Creative Commons or similar license and allows anyone to use his/her work. This means images you just find on Google are not suitable to use UNLESS you are transforming them in a substantial way.
