If you mean “How do you post image links?”, merely click on the address in your Address bar, highlight all of it, copy, then paste it into your reply. Simple, no fuss.

If you mean "How does one find Images online, then [Google Image Search is your friend!](http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi&q=)

No pictures of me. But on the Straight Dope the whole “goddess of love” shtick is just for fun, a play on my username, and I’m always who I’ve claimed to be: a young university student from Toronto, female, slightly geeky, more than slightly crazy. 😉

I haven’t been called Sean in a bout ten years.  
And my girlfriend, if asked if her title is The Factotrix, will look at you with a confused stare.

But everything else I’ve posted here is true.  
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
