Your image must have one of the following extensions: jpg png gif bmp tif tiff swf. You must use an image hosting service like
ImageShack (unless you have your own web site or blog page). But it must exist on the internet to be visible to others.
There are a number of ways to add an image to your post and/or placemark. For the oldest method, which I like and use, try this:
To put an image in your post: click on "Image" in the instant UBB code under the message box and paste the web address of your picture
into the box, which gives you this:
Code:
[image]http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/1107/busyhbfeederwcostasredurm2.jpg[/image]
It will look like this:
To include the photo in your placemark, use html code:
<img src="http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/1107/busyhbfeederwcostasredurm2.jpg">
You can make a link which others must click to see the picture:
http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/1107/busyhbfeederwcostasredurm2.jpg
You can also use a service like Panoramio or Picassa and geocode your photos. Use "save as" and add them to your hard drive; then select
them as you create your post.
You can also use Add > Image overlay... from the Google Earth menu bar. Once again use "Save as..." and save them to your hard drive. If
you use "Share/Post" your post will have code in it which you will then need to clean up by editing your post.
So construct your placemark(s) using the html form to include images. When they look like you want them to save them to your hard drive
in your GE placemarks folder.
Then create a post by going to the forum you want to place your post in. Add pictures to your post body by using the url(s) from the
image service. Then add your already finished placemark(s) from your GE placemarks folder to your post with the "browse" button.

I should clarify my request for help. I'm attempting to add a photo to a GE location. Maybe this is possible. Maybe not. Your response was so descriptive and accurate, I thank you.
I am SOOOO new to GE, as well as the forum, that I failed to pose my request for help well.
I noticed that you said that the forum was not the place to ask for help, did you intend to say that I asked in the wrong location of my request? If so, I apologize, as I said, I am VERY new.
Thank you for your assistance.

So I understand that you want the image to show on the GE globe itself.
You can also use Panoramio and geocode your photos. Choose to add them to Google Earth/Maps through Panoramio. They will eventually end up in the Panoramio section of layers.
If you want to do this directly, right-click on your photo in Panoramio, choose "properties" and copy the .jpg (picture) file there. The in the Google Earth program, choose "add" > "photo". Paste the jpg address you copied into the "link" box, give it a title, and adjust the parameters with the slider bars.
This method also works which any image you have stored on the web on a site like ImageShack.
You can also have the picture displayed in a placemark bubble by following the instructions from my previous response.
There are lots of ways to do it, and I haven't described them all. It would be nice to have one simple, short method but like many things 'computerese' there are often many options.
