March 23, 2011 Edited and updated to add the following:
Caitlin Tobias, who is a regular blogger, photographer and profile feed poster, has a blog post with detailed instructions and pictures on how to take pictures and post them to https://my.secondlife.com/ here:
I highly recommend you check that post out. Anyway, on with our regularly scheduled programming...

It requires using a Viewer with that functionality. Second Life Viewer 3.0, Firestorm 4.0, Catznip, Dolphin and Exodus are all enabled with Snapshot-to-Feed functionality.
Some Viewers have the camera Snapshot button on the left or the bottom of the screen. Post to "Profile" if you want it to go to your Feed. Don't forget the Caption and to consider whether you want to post your Location with the pic. (You can uncheck Location.)
These are pictures from the intrepid Maryanne who upped the ante on the challenge by using the Utherverse (RLC) and Champions Online to attack the first hunt list.
Cato Badger, not to be confused with Caitlin Tobias, is currently engaged in a semantics battle with Dakota Cody over whether the Badger always says "its not always malevolence but occasionally incompetence."
Cato Badger said:
"As I always say its not always malevolence but occasionally incompetence."
Dakota Cody said:
"Liar. This is the first time I've ever seen you say that."
And so on for twelve more posts and two pages with no end currently in sight.
Take a look at the choice of insult being bandied about between the two.
"You are HumptyDumptying."
Caitlin Tobias, for her part, is currently passing tout like a battle ship in the argumentative night, just missing each other over some long not-lost and not-forgotten SLF forum grudge that involved, you guessed it, Pep. Much of this is going on in, of all places, the "gV Unofficial Useless Statistics" thread opened by Lias.
Just prior to all that the argument over who can lay claim to the forum use of "I'll be your Huckleberry" raised it's shaky head again. Lias continues to support her gV claim and Grady's SC MKII banner claim. Fuckwad's first use of it on the Utherforums remains largely uncontested, though Maryanne feels she used it more and there may be a higher claim in that. Which has more weight? First usage or amount of usage? I went off-forum in pointing out the 1993 usage in the movie "Tombstone" and Pep took us to 1900 with his blog post on the subject.
Jolene and Lias have been arguing over who is stalking who. I'm not even gonna link ya. It's all over the place.
Wasted is back again shilling for his own forum and going on about how, yep, you guessed it, "The SL Related Forums Positively Suck." He's also been going through a heart-wrenching roller coaster ride in his relationship with Lias. All he can do now is stand back and trust that she is doing the right thing.
Did I mention that ew0k made a brief and nearly forgettable visit to gV? Yes? No? Oh well, never mind.
"sockpuppeting generally means using an alt to agree with your own arguments or team up with yourself against an adversary. or perhaps even using the alt to agree with an adversary and align with them using a strawman argument or otherwise trying to discredit their argument via 'guilt by association'. rorting the trophy system is just that. using an alt to like your own posts to inflate trophy points and such."
"i have been contemplating the idea of having two opt-out options. one option to opt out of nsfw and another to opt out of sfw. if one opted out of either they wouldnt see any trace of any forum with that classification."
"After hiding out for I don't recall how long, I see Don Mill is Bulldick! posted over on SLU. Must be looking for someone else to file a suit on. Cristiano better watch his step!"
Last, but not least, consider enjoying a few drinks in the Saloon. You'll need 'em.
"Humptydumptying means claiming to use a word in a particular way that is not the way in which it is usually perceived to be used like using say when nothing has been voiced or in forums when you have been caught using the wrong word like prosperity rather than posterity at which point you attempt to claim the moral high ground by saying that everyone knew what you meant and that it was only a bunch of letters with spaces on each end anyway and english is not a fixed language and if enough people use a word wrongly it becomes accepted usage and anyway english is not my first language and how many languages do you speak anyway and you are discriminating against me because I am a foreigner and I am a professor of linguistics in my own country and am an international soccer referee and can say penalty in sixteen different languages."
And this helpful quote and link from the changeling operating Mitch Wexler's avatar at present*:
"There is the problem of humptydumptying, whereby a person gives an unusual and private meaning to a word with a more common and public definition and thus causes unnecessary confusion."
*Mitch used to have a bit of a tendency to prompt other posters to say JFGI on the screen, under their breath and/or in their minds, so I have no idea who this Googling, surfing, quoting, linking fool operating his avatar now is or what has happened to Mitch. It's what prompted me to say this in gV earlier. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
Fine print: "Fool" here is meant playfully as someone doing a lot of something with a certain amount of abandon, not an unintelligent jerk.
"You know what that reminds me of? This might annoy you though, but still: there was like a "movement" a little while ago, where homosexuals wanted to start calling themselves "Gays" rather than homosexuals because homosexual had too negative of a connotation or something. Well this caused a lot of consternation, because using the word "gay" to describe someone colloquially means you're calling them gay, and trying to refer to homosexuals exclusively as "gays" implied that they were gay to the exclusion of those who were not "gay". They tried arguing it, like "but gay is a noun!", but everyone knew it wasn't, and eventually that silliness just kind of became accepted because otherwise the homosexuals would have complained of homophobic discrimination.
"Did you like it because I thought that since I have been posting like Pep and everybody has been suggesting I was Pep I would give everyone ammunition to point to in days to come to prove I was Pep.
Pep (Did it strike the right sort of resonant chord???)"
ETA8: Poor Saffy Pants. We're going to drive her mad at this rate. See here. Hey, this is why I pick a name and a forum pic (and even a color) and stick with it. ;)
"I have had this one since even before she was famous."
Post #4, Immy posts this.
"Can't. It'll probably get me banned. =^-^="
This is where I imagine veterans of SC MKII, SLU and the SL blogorums roll their eyes, groan and push flashbacks of old threads out of their heads. Non-veterans or the unfamiliar might be doing a combination of "uh oh" and "what?" Regardless, anyone reading that one line knows it's the beginning.
Couple more posts about desktop images. People ignoring the bait. Here comes more chum.
Immy wades back in and on post #9 contributes a post that has since been edited, debated, defended and derided multiple times with no end currently in sight. [Warning: Think twice about clicking the links (here and below). Immy likes controversial lolicon images and tends to post from the full continuum with the qualifier that one end of the continuum is her wheelhouse and the other end of the continuum is what a minority of other people enjoy, but, ya know, check it out or something.]
It's a dual-screen set up and I make a big enough image to span both, each with its own scene. Set to tile and it fits perfectly. (^_^)y
Oh, I can show off my workplace desktop..."
"Ain't I the narcissist? =^-^="
"WARNING** This site goes even beyond ~MY~ boundaries -- Lolibooru <link broken by me - see explanation below>
But, anyway. (^_^)y"
"#1 rule of online safety: Unless you're clearly aware that you're directly seeking that which is behind the link, DON'T CLICK THE LINK!"
"Blind rage is entertaining."
More postings of desktop images and then post # 19.
Lain (is Bams) said:
"Linking to pornographic images of children isn't exactly above board with the rules, now is it?
It's clearly material we have outlined as inappropriate for posting, I don't see a link to the material as much different, and I'm pretty sure the laws will fall in that direction as well.
I, for one, would appreciate you having more tact and respect and keeping this filth to yourself in the future.
Thanks in advance."
Aaaand we're off to the races.
Here's a quick bullet summary:
Immy posted links to potentially illegal pornographic images thereby endangering both the site and the members who might have clicked on the second link.
Immy posted links and not images and members were not compelled to click the links.
Members weren't warned either.
The pictures are of drawings, not actual people. No one was harmed in the making of them.
The pictures are illegal in some countries and offensive to many people.
The gV community standards say "child pornography or the sexualisation of a child, real or not, is explicitly forbidden" and no shock gore either and we agreed not to put the site in legal jeopardy.
Immy is trolling. Again.
Immy is a hero for being open, honest and vulnerable and exercising such great restraint.
Immy is just posting.
Immy thinks the pics are cute and on-topic. She also thinks they express joy, freedom and liberation.
Immy objects to her favorite form of art being characterized as filth.
Immy hates being an adult, but is forced into it in real and virtual lives.
Immy is a married middle-aged man with a compulsion to post lolicon pics, seek attention and cause drama.
Another image is posted for comparison and discussion purposes.
Storm tells everyone he has a picture of Lias on his desktop (clearly baiting Orfeu who posted a pic early on and buggered off before the drama fired up.)
Bunnie supplies the thread memes: pilgrims and reruns.
I'll link you to a post that has the second link, the more inflammatory pic site, rather than repost that link on my own site. You really want to see it, you can click through to gV, click the link there and head on over to Lolibooru. Yes, I did click. I know what you'll see if and when you get there. Don't say you weren't warned.
