What's the best way to include an image in a story? What I've been doing so far is making the image an attachment to the story, disabling listing of the attachment, and referencing the image file directly with an HTML <img> tag in the body. Is that the right thing to be doing, or is there something more straight-forward?
I'm thinking of our less technical contributors who don't want to be messing with HTML directly, but still want to include images in-line with stories.

I use the Image Picker module, and I've been pretty pleased with that. It does not create image nodes or anything like that, but for inline stuff in articles or blog posts I usually don't care about making nodes.
http://drupal.org/project/imagepicker
It's only a dev snapshot and it's only for 5.x, but it's worked well enough for my purposes.
Hope that helps,

Well, for D6 there is a nice http://drupal.org/project/img_filter and for D5 I recommend http://drupal.org/project/inline .
Both have almost the same workflow as you use now, but skipping a few steps and not messing with HTML.
You might also try image_assist and imce (either or not in combination with tinymce). These differ in workflow, but have advantages of their own.
