This is my controller file that receives input from view file. post data will be submited to Add function and the function manipulates do upload function which recieves configuration parameters from set_configuration_function.

public function __construct()
{
    parent::__construct();
    $this->load->model('App/AppModel');//load app model
    $this->load->helper('url');
    $this->load->helper('form');
    $this->load->library('session');
}

public function index()
{
    $this->data['blogs'] = $this->AppModel->get_all(BLOGS_TABLE);
    parent::LOADER('App/Blog/All');
}

public function Add()
{


    if ($_POST && empty($_FILES['blog_file']['name'])) {
        $new_blog = $_POST;
        $this->AppModel->insert(BLOGS_TABLE, $new_blog);
        $this->session->set_flashdata('flashSuccess', 'Blog Created Successfully.');
        $this->index();
    }

    if ($_POST && !empty($_FILES['blog_file']['name'])) {
        $file_name =$this->do_upload();
        $file_name = array($file_name);

        $blog = $_POST;
        $new_blog = array_merge($blog, $file_name);
        $this->AppModel->insert(BLOGS_TABLE, $new_blog);
        $this->session->set_flashdata('flashSuccess', 'Blog Created Successfully.');
        $this->index();
    }
    parent::LOADER('App/Blog/New');
}


function do_upload()
{
    $config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
    $config['max_size'] = '100';
    $config['max_width']  = '1024';
    $config['max_height']  = '768';

    $this->load->library('upload', $config);

    if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())
    {
        $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());

        $this->load->view('upload_form', $error);
    }
    else
    {
        $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());

        $this->load->view('upload_success', $data);
    }
}


public function set_upload_options (){

    $config = array();
    $config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg';
    $config['max_size'] = '10000000000';
    $config['max_width']  = '1024';
    $config['max_height']  = '768';
    return $config;
}

                    </form>
                    </div>
            </div>

    </section>
</div>

Problem is I get error that says "you did not select a file to upload."

you are not using set_upload_options() method.
you are missing input name blog_file in your controller.

$this->upload->do_upload('blog_file');
