Google Earth questions in general

I don't have an answer for that but in general there are tons of stuff to be found under Help -> Google Earth Community. There are forums, FAQs, searches and all kinds of things in there.
Try poking around in there and see if you find anything in there.

Images can be added to Google Earth placemarks. If you are looking to share the placemark with anyone outside of your computer network, you'll need to publish the photo to some type of photo-hosting service. To insert the image:

1. Right-click on the Placemark and choose Properties.
2. In the Description tab of the Placemark, put in the HTML IMG syntax (example below):

A Picture is Worth 1000 Words

What Ladd is saying is to take off your local machine and put it up somewhere like PhotoBucket.

Edit: If you don't want your image shared your link would be something like:
src="file:///c:mypicsyourpic.jpg"

Something like that. I forget exactly.
But no one but you on THAT machine could see your placemark image.

What purpose does it serve now?
