My Karma is falling apart

My Karma looks like the attached picture,
Is there a way to fix this properly, or should I just put a bunch of epoxy in there and clamp it together until it dries?
And on a different (but related) topic: what is the procedure for having a picture appear in the post itself rather than just as an attachment?

Have the plastic tabs broken? It should snap back together. If you want to be sure, here are Karma disassembly instructions.

Although I know you already know how to use the IMG tag, the trick (the part you're missing, I'll bet) is this:
Don't rightclick on the ATTACHMENT link and try to copy that into the IMG tag. That's just a link to the stub page that eventually loads the image. That won't work in an IMG tag. That's probably where you were going wrong.
Instead, open the attachment link fully in a new window. Once it's done loading, you'll notice that the URL in the address box has changed to the correct path pointing to the JPG file. NOW that the address has been fully updated with an actual file link, you can copy that to the clipboard and go back and paste THAT into the IMG tag.

I suspect they have. I can squeeze it back together, and it almost snaps back together, but always opens back up again.
Did you drop it, or did this happen spontaneously? A small proportion of Karmas suffered from steadily-swelling batteries, and although this usually squishes the hard disk before it pops the case open, it depends exactly where on the battery the swelling occurs. If you can get the whole back off, examine the battery: if its flat sides aren't completely flat, you should stop using it and get another one (i.e. a replacement battery if possible, otherwise a replacement Karma).
We've never heard of a bulging battery actually bursting, but if one ever did it could cause a nasty explosion and fire. They aren't supposed to explode, but then they weren't supposed to swell either.
