Dumb question - how do you easily insert a photo/image inline with writing text in a post?

when i try to insert an image, i click the 'image' button in the upper buttons zone above the posting space ... but then it asks me for a ’url’...

let's say i have an image in my google drive, or even on my computer local drive...

in my basic e-mail apps, you can attach an image with an ’attach’ button, which a-gon doesn’t provide, or even easier, just ’copy’ and then ’paste’ an image in between blocks of typed text...

i am not the most computer savvy person... any assistance would be gratefully received... :)

Now that these technicalities are being addressed, can somebody explain how you insert a youtube link so that the image appears in the post, rather than just the standard internet link.  When I use the paperclip icon I just get the link, and when I use the picture icon, nothing happens.

For YouTube, you have to use the last icon on the right, the Source icon.
It will display text only but you can see in when you hit "preview". 
Hopefully, you won't have the same problem I have when shrinks the size of the video.

All the best,

.....or just copy the file name of the YT selection and right click paste into this handy box.....

It'd be nice to be able to drag 'n drop from ones' desktop, but perhaps a bad idea in the long run...
