It has been shown that images and videos increase the number of shares a blog post receives.

According to Jeff Bullas, articles with images get 94% more total views than articles without images.

You will be able to upload and edit images, videos and audio right from your Media Library in your WordPress Dashboard.

To access your Media Library, on the left-hand sidebar hover over Media then click on Library.
