Does anyone know how I can upload my image onto the googlemap? I got my name and location in and will work on linking to my website.
Thanks!

Actually, you link to it, not upload... so it must be on a server somewhere. It should ideally be something about 185x185 pixels in size.
To link the image...
That should do it.
- go to the googlemap and select your marker,
- click the [your entry] field above the map
- fill in the url of the picture you want to link as your image in the "URL of the image for the marker" field near the bottom of the page.
- click "update information"
Pm me if you have any difficulty.

Man, I have to tell the my fellow-portuguese user fpessanha to put his location too! I have no one near me for more than 1000 miles (echo... echo... echo...) ;).
My marker does not seem to be showing up. I am on the list as being on the map but I can't see the marker. This is confusing me
Done! (I think.)

Move the map (click and drag with the hand cursor) so where you're marker should be is roughly in the center. Then zoom in by clicking the + on the scale in the upper-left corner of the map until you see your marker. If you zoom in far enough, you can actually place your marker on your house in some cases, depending on whether google has high resolution photos of your area.
You can even look up and enter your latitude and longitude. I found a list of resources for determining the coordinates:
