Alternate text is optional but recommended. See Alternate text for images for hints on writing good alternate text. To have some text to the left of an image, and then some more text below the image, then put in a single <br clear="all">. This will force following text down until the margins are free of floating images.
Find and select the file or image you'd like to attach. Click Open. The file or image will be attached below the body of the email. If you'd like to insert an image directly into the body of an email, check out the steps in the "Insert images into an email" section of this article.
Preserve the original image size, and do not add a border around the image. Place it inline with the text unless overridden with the location attribute. Do not show a caption.

In this example, the image data is encoded with utf8 and hence the image data can broken into multiple lines for easy reading. Single quote has to be used in the SVG data as double quote is used for encapsulating the image source.

image is the name of the image, abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif, etc. Do not include the File: or Image: prefix, do not enclose the name in [[brackets]], but do remember to include the filename extension. image_upright should normally be left blank, so that the size defaults to the size set in a user's preferences.

(More on the "other optional stuff" in a moment.) Add an edit summary, do a quick preview, and save the page. The software assumes that the image name you add to an article refers to one at the English Wikipedia, if one exists there. If the English Wikipedia doesn't have an image with that name, the software looks at Commons.
After the image is uploaded, click the "Use this file" button at the top of the image page (with the W) and copy the "thumbnail" code. To add the image to your user page you just need to replace {{New user bar}} with {{New user bar|image=PASTE THE IMAGE CODE HERE}}.
