You can upload a pic as an attachment or upload it to a picture host, like photobucket, tinypic, there are several.

When I click on "image" it prompts me to type in a url. I don't know how to upload from my local machine.

That is a picture URL what you would get from a picture hosting site. Go to TinyPic - Free Image Hosting and try it out. Really simple.

To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main posting option. To get this option select the Go Advanced button below:
There below the text input box you will see the Additional Options:
Here you first click the Manage Attachments button as shown. There this screen will pop up in a new tab:
Here you click the Add Files button to select the file you wish to add. Then you click the upload button which will appear after you select the file you wish to share. Then you click the Done button at the bottom. This will attach your item to your post. then you get back to the first screen as shown above with the Additional Options and click Submit Reply, but do that only after you have given all the information you want in the text field.
How do I add an image to a post?
If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed.
To include an image that is not uploaded as an attachment and is located on another website, you can do so by copying the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located), and either pressing the 'Insert Image' icon or by typing
after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image. You can insert pictures from your albums in this way too.
