Adding photos to description pop up bubbles

[Payal Patel]

Hello,
I'm a novice KML coder trying to build a Google Earth map of
properties. In the pop up bubble for each placemark, I'd like to add
a logo and/or a photo. Can anyone please tell me which KML tag I
should use? I've tried this code below with no luck. The link is
where I've uploaded the logo.

Thanks,

Hi Payal,

Are you using the GE desktop application or the embedded GE API

if it's the latter then:-
<Placemark>
<name>PlaceMarkName</name>
<description><![CDATA[<img src=ulr of image>]]></description>
<Style>
<BalloonStyle>
<displayMode>default</displayMode>
<text><b>$[name]</b><br/>$[description]Description text</
text> // displayed over and under image
</BalloonStyle>
</Style>
<styleUrl>#POI_1</styleUrl>
<LookAt>
<longitude>-13.79967778</longitude>
<latitude>28.85858611</latitude>
<range>6000</range>
<tilt>45</tilt>
<heading>0</heading>
</LookAt>
<Point>
<coordinates> -13.79967778,28.85858611,0.0</coordinates>
</Point>
</Placemark>

I'm using GE desktop to view my KML files if that's what you mean.
Would I use this same code?

Hi,

If you're using the desktop GE then I would pack all the info into a
KMZ file:-

root/
KML_file
pics/
pic1
pic2 etc


And then change the "img src=pics\pic1"

If you would like an example then let me have an email address, you
can get mine from the website below.

my observation is this: you don't have an easy url for the image. 

in my experience if you grab an image url that ends in .jpg or similar, it works. 

your code looks right.
