When adding images, there are two important considerations, copyright, and copyright. Images taken from the web may well be copyrighted and can't be reused here. Your own images can be used but only if you are sharing the images without restriction.

Use the "upload file" link on the left to place the file online here. Then link to the image from your wiki page using the Embedded file button on the edit screen (6thbutton in). If you use this format: [[Image:Example.jpg|Figure 1. Some nice flowers|thumb|right]] you end up with a thumbnail on the right with a figure legend just like Figure 1.
