It is very easy to do. However, its depends on where you are wanting to add images.

Are you wanting to edit the logo or add images to the homepage? Are you wanting to add images to existing posts?

You need to be more specific on what exactly you are wanting to do.

wanting to add it to an existing post

Go to your WordPress admin dashboard. Hover over posts on the left hand side and select 'All posts'.

Then find the post you want to add an image to and select 'Edit'.

Scroll through the post till you find the spot you want to add the image and click to put your cursor there, then select 'Add Media' (top left below the permalink URL). Then select either 'Upload Files' or insert from URL.

If uploading then simply drag the image into the upload area and on the right give it a title, caption, alignment etc etc and click 'Insert into post'. Then simply click 'Update' and the image will be inserted into your post.

It is the same if you want to change the featured image for the post too. But instead of selecting 'Add Media' you select 'Add featured image' located at the bottom right of the sidebar.

Wonder How would I do it if I was adding images to the home n changing dates on the home page? What's the difference
