How do I put pictures into my factbooks?

Bear in mind that some sites don't appreciate people 'hot-linking' to their contents, and may take steps against it: In some cases this involves altering links so that anybody who tries to use an image from another site directly ends up posting a link to some other image instead, although they themselves still see the original picture, and that in some cases those alternative images have actually been "bad" enough to get the posting nation officially warned -- or possibly even, in extreme cases, deleted -- by the Mods.
Therefore, unless the site where you find an image that you want to use specifically states that it allows hot-linking, saving a copy of the image to an image-hosting site yourself and then using the url for the copy of it there rather than the url for the copy that you originally found elsewhere is advisable...
