To insert an image, find the image on the web. Click on the image so that you can actually see the image URL which ends with .jpg or .gif or .png. Sometimes you might need to Right Click on the Image and look for the Image location by doing to "copy image location"
<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/Paris_06_Eiffelturm_4828.jpg" >
- If you want to make the picture a different size in your placemark add height or width information.
<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/Paris_06_Eiffelturm_4828.jpg" height=400 width=400>
Hint: Measurement is in pixels. There are 72 pixels per inch. Sometimes I just change the Width OR the height, not both so I don' end up with a distorted picture.
- I suggest including the Word PhotoCredit: and the link of the webpage that hosted the picture.
