Hi Andrew,
Images inserted into a post need to be hosted somewhere on line. I usually use photobucket.com , but there are many other sites that provide this service. It is possible, I think, to add an image file as an attachment, and it is also possible to give latitude and longitude coordinates, but the by-far preferred method of referencing a location on this forum is to create a placemark.
This allows other members who are interested in your location to find it easily, and bring to bear other tools (like Street View, Historical Imagery, Photo Layer, etc), as well as searching the surrounding area for clues about the nature of the site, without going through the difficult process of finding the location (which the Fun and Games people delight in doing but some of us find boring) or the tedious process of entering coordinates in the Search Box, which will take us to the place, but will not share the view you are seeing.
With the built-in file creation tools in Google Earth, one can easily create a placemark. This placemark can then be saved (and automatically compressed in the process to a .kmz file), which can then be attached to your post and downloaded by others.
Hill has written instructions for how to create a simple placemark and posted it here: googleearthcommunity.proboards.com/post/3703/thread
Good luck!
