oRight-click the placemark in the left-side navigation if you need to go back to edit later! Then select “Properties”….

·In the Description box you can use the following HTML code:
<P> To make a new paragraph, put in the P between the 'less than' & 'greater than' signs. </P>

To make our letters BIG and BOLD use both! [(nest the codes like parentheses & brackets)]
<B> <font size='5'> my big and bold letters! </font></B>
To insert an image, use this formatting tag making sure to use the FULL file name with directory path:
<imgsrc='C:googleEarthPix3G_001.jpg'>
NOTE: The file name & path above (C:googleEarthPix3G_001.jpg) is just an example. You would use YOUR file’s full name & path. And if you want to send the placemark or show it someplace other than on your computer, you will want to actually put a URL in place of the filename & path. The URL will point directly to a picture on a publicly available website, such as www.flickr.com/.
IMPORTANT NOTE regarding images!!!!…. Google doesn’t like to have spaces in the file name & directory path! That’s why it’s best to use a file folder & picture name without spaces! Also…. EDIT THE PICTURE so it is resized for looking good in the Google Earth Placemark! (In Microsoft Office Picture Manager, you could use the Resize settings that are “Predefined” for Web – small (448 x 336 px).

Here is a sample Placemark & what it produces:
I have four KML files. And I am using them in Maps API V3 (see code
below). Everything worked fine, but I am not able to display each KML
files with a custom icon. For example, KML file 1 should use a green
icon, KML file 2 should use a blue icon, KML file 3 should use a
purple icon, and KML file 4 should use a red icon. I also try using
KMZ with icons zip up inside, changes the src code to those custom
icons. but still don't work in Maps V3. Strangely, all these files are
able to display custom icons in Google Earth, just not Maps V3.
Here are my codes.
