Drag and Drop method
This method can be used in Preview
You may use your mouse to click on an image file and drag it (while keeping your mouse button depressed) to the location within your post where you want the image to display.
In the example below, I clicked on the Stepping Out! logo at the top of the page and inserted it where I wanted by dragging and dropping:

If the image you want to drag and drop is on another webpage in another tab or another browser, you can drag and drop by doing the following:
1. When you have multiple tabs open in the same browser: - select the image from the tab where the image you want is shown & click it with your mouse
- drag it to the tab where your post composition is open and linger until that tab opens
- drop the image into the post where you want it to appear
2. When you have two different browsers open side-by-side:- select the image from the webpage in one browser by clicking it with your mouse button
- drag it to the post you are composing in the other browser
- drop it into the post where you want it to appear (let go of the mouse button)
