Okay. This is take 2 for this article. Does that tell you anything?! It seems that before you can add pictures to an article the page has to be already saved. So save the text before uploading a file. (Please correct me if this is not true!)

- Click on upload file (on the left).
- Click on "browse" and select a picture (click on it and then click on "open".)

- Highlight (also known as "scrape") the file name at the top of the picture and right click to copy it.
- Go back to your article (click on My contributions, find the name of your article and click on it. When you get there, click on the edit tab) and paste the file name where you want the picture to appear in your text. YOU WILL NOW HAVE TO CHANGE THE FILE NAME IN THIS WAY: add two brackets at the front ([[) and two brackets at the end (]])
