Put the image in `/static` in your project, then reference it. Example:

```
 /static/images/myimage.jpg

```

Then in the markdown:

```auto
...
![My Image](/images/myimage.jpg)
...

```

The `static` folder is referenced in the docs, and getting used to hugo really does require a doc readthrough. I recommend taking the time.

> Hugo's CLI scaffolds a project directory structure and then takes that single directory and uses it as the input to create a complete website.
