I would like to post an occasional graphic but can’t find a way to do that.

The only way I've found to do it is to host them yourself and then post a link. Another way you can do it is find an image online, then post the link using the "Insert Image" icon in the toolbar.

I’ll give that a try, thanks
 
You can post directly from your device if the image is not too large, but I see a number of messages from people saying that very thing, they cannot post because of file size being too large, and they do not know how to resize and/or they do not want to learn even though it is not complicated. Images can be sized in Paint which most HP devices have but I prefer using a url for a number of reasons. Also please be aware that not all sites allow file sharing as RA suggested above, and you may even find that the image you thought you had posted can be changed. Though sites like ipin and other media cache sharing sites do allow it. The best image host I have found and used for years is https://postimages.org/ and they allow you to resize on upload. 640 is often large enough but you may also choose other formats. Then you take the direct link from the second line of links offered and put that url in image tags here. You can do that manually or use the icon above the message box (the little square with the mountain in it, to the left of the smilie icon).

Thanks, I will start working on that.
