Best practice to attach image as part of the post

Hi guys, I would like to ask your opinion on what is the best approach if say I want to attach an image not as a thumbnail but as part of the post itself. As always, any ideas is greatly appreciated. thanks

I'd recommend the Inline Attachments addon

@TE @Wizard for some reason, I cant make the inline attachment work. I tried using
Code: [Select]
[attachimg=1 align=left width=80]http://i.imgur.com/cDjZH6Jb.jpg[/attachimg]
but doesnt seem to work. the addon was enable though.
Am I doing it correctly?

attachimg tag is working only for the attachments, to obtain that result with an attachment the code you should insert is
Code: [Select]
[attachimg=1 align=left width=80]
sorry for my bad english

Inline Attachments is made for uploaded attachments..
for external images, hosted by other services you'd use this solution:
