WordPress used to provide a gallery of images we could choose from but has disappeared sometime back. Why is it no longer available?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I believe you are referring to Zemanta which has been removed some time ago now. Zemanta can be easily re-installed via the browser extension. http://www.zemanta.com/download/

You could possibly be referring to Getty images. If so see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/getty-images/

I went to the getty images site and that is not it. Also it requires registering on the site and paying for a plan to use the site!!!
Zemanta might be it. When looking at the preview of how it looks on WordPress is exactly what I used to see.

Ok, this poor non-techy is having trouble figuring out exactly how to do this
Unzip to wp-content/plugins on your server.
Activate through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

I downloaded the latest version of Zemanta and is in my Downloaded folder and says to unzip on my browser but it confuses me. Help :)

Went to Plugins on WP and it says I have to Upgrade Now!!!!
So I am guessing this means I have to pay to upgrade before I can do anything with this?

Not at all. Zemanta is a *browser* plugin/extension. When you are on your WordPress.com site, Zemanta will be active in your browser.

Whatever web browser you are using, when you go to this page, http://www.zemanta.com/download/ simply click on the icon for that web browser.

Hope that helped.
