You can use Markdown to insert an image from the web into a comment, just like in posts. However, you cannot upload images from your computer directly into comments. Upload them to an image-hosting service and then insert them using the image button above the publisher.

Your profile is in two parts: your basic profile and your extended profile. Your basic profile contains your name, the five tags you chose to describe yourself, and your photo. Your extended profile contains your biography, location, gender, and birthday. All this information is optional – it’s up to you whether you provide it, and you can make this profile information as identifiable or anonymous as you like. Your extended profile is displayed in the left-hand column of your profile page, under your profile picture.

Your basic profile (name, profile image and #tags) is public. Your extended profile is private by default, but you can make it all publicly accessible if you want. Only people you are sharing with (meaning, you have added them to one of your aspects) can see your extended profile if you keep it private. Other people will see only your public information. Any profile information you make public can be viewed by anyone using the web, and can be indexed by search engines

What do the tags in my basic profile do?
