Libby,
I've pasted a reply I sent to the group once pertaining to the same
question:
To add the image to your cache listing, first make sure the checkmark
is checked next to "This listing is using HTML" or something similar
(I can't access gc.com at work, so I can't get the exact wording).
The code to add the image is:
<img src="LINK_TO_THE_PHOTO">
In case that didn't go through (some email clients filter out HTML codes):
[img src="LINK_TO_THE_PHOTO"] -- replace [ with < and ] with >.
The tricky part is knowing what the link to your photo is. There are
several ways to get one. The first is the way I do it, the second the
way others do it:
1. Complete your cache listing without the image's link. Then upload
the image to the gallery of that cache page. After doing that, follow
the steps below.
2. Upload the image to any image hosting service that allows
"hotlinking" (the ability to retrieve images from another website).
Photobucket allows it, I believe. After doing that, follow the steps
below.
After uploading your image to the place of your choosing, do the
following:
1. Navigate to the image you want to place on the cache listing.
2. When the image is up, right-click the image and click on
Properties. This should open a box with information on the image.
3. Highlight and copy the "path" line (it may not say path; it may say
"location" or something similar). It should be
"http://something_here.com/something_else/photo_name.jpg [or .gif or
.png]
4. Paste the section you just copied into the img tag after src=.
Make sure the address is enclosed with quotation marks (" ").
For example, if the image was at
http://www.google.com/images/google.gif, the tag would be:
<img src="http://www.google.com/images/google.gif";>
--or--
[img src=http://www.google.com/images/google.gif] (replace [ with < and ]
with >
Does that clear anything up? If not, let me know and I'll try to make
a document with steps on how to do it (or find someone that has
already done it).

P.S. Someone also suggested http://www.txga.net/cache_page.html to
learn other things as well.

Once I have a new cache submitted to geocaching.com I can upload photos.
How
do I make the photos part of the page itself and not just part of the
gallery?
