Uploading an Image to WordPress:
The first thing you need to do is to upload your image to WordPress. If you’re already aware of this process, then you can skip this step and advance to the next page.
If you don’t know how to upload an image, then read on.
Uploading your image is easy. When you’re logged into your WP Admin Dashboard, you’ll see a tab called “Media” in the left menu bar. When you click on it, a new site will open. Right next to “Media Library”, you’ll see a button called “Add New”.
Clicking on it will bring you to the Upload Screen. See image below
To upload your image, click on “Select Files” and search for your image on your computer. Once you’ve found it, highlight it and click “Open”.
Your image will start to upload. Depending on size and your internet connection, this can vary from a few seconds to a couple minutes. Once the upload is completed, you’ll see your image underneath the big perforated box. See image below
You can find your image now in the "Media Library". See image below
With having the image in the Media Library, we’re now ready to add the Image Courtesy using Captions.

Needless to say, free images require a Courtesy and I'm glad this Tutorial is of benefit to you.
Thanks.
If you can't see the author name and a link/reference to the license, then don't take a screen capture. If the image is shared freely for anyone, then it will say so in the image description.
You're save when you only use the free downloads from featured websites such as the ones Kyle provides here...

...or from the ones I recommend on Page 6.
They show author and the licensing and usually provide you with an example of how to credit the author. Add it to your image and you're on the safe side.
Hope this helps and thanks for your feedback.
