Click "Set featured image"

Choose one from the Media Library or Upload a new one by clicking on the Upload files tab and choosing one from your computer. Before you upload a new one, name it with keywords, no special characters or spaces (use hyphens instead of spaces to separate words).

After you upload or find the image, click "Set featured image"

Click off the Categories this should appear in. Choose 1-3 Categories.
