You can upload from your computer directly into a post from the new version of the site; just click on 'Responsive Site' at the bottom of any page and when you make a new post/reply, you will be able to select an image directly from your own files.

You'll need to either use a third party image host and link to that to embed or you can upload an image as an attachment, right click on the image when uploaded and 'Copy Link Location' (or mac equivalent of that) and use the URL to insert the image.

Click on 'Manage Attachments'

Click on 'Choose File' and choose the image file from your computer

Click on 'Upload'

Right click on the image and 'Copy link location' (or Mac equivalent of this)

Select 'Insert Image'

Paste image URL

Should look like this
