...on a line by itself. The answer was found on Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10935763/github-picture-p...

For issues and comments you can simply drag an image into the body area (or use the upload button) and it will upload to GitHub. You only need to reference from your repository for README or other files inside of your code.

You can simply drag a photo into the markdown editor and the image will be uploaded and markdown created.

Also, the inline LaTeX equations are great. I didn't know the service that was used:
