  Is this currently doable? & if so, how, please? :) Thanks!

  Meg and Marcus do it on occasion. I'm sure they'd be happy to clue you in.

  Mark, I was able to do it by writing the story in google docs, (I do all my writing in docs, it's great), then importing an image into the doc, then copying and pasting the whole thing into fictionaut. Hope that helps.

  I forgot Con Chapman, who knows how to post appropriate-sized pictures within the story.

  mark, you can simply open the SOURCE code in any browser, look for the IMG tag and copy the stuff...or you use this (with your own link of course) - the size is another attribute inside the body of the IMG tag...

  ps. i didn't even know the forum allows pictures, too.

  right-click on this picture, choose "inspect element" and you get a LOT of source, the entire page layout. but the IMG tag should be highlighted for you to copy. i'll try again:
