How do I add an image to the site?

The page with your image should load. Look at the URL of the page, it should end in ".../node/##". Remember that number, and head back to the page where you want the image to appear. An image is included in a page with an "img_assist|nid=##" line, see the people page for examples.

Note: a table with all the uploaded files for the page will appear at the bottom of the page, but this is only visible to users that are logged in, so you should put a link to your file, using an href tag, in the body of your page.
