Newham Site Proposal & Geotagging

I've created a gallery of images for my site proposal:
The idea was that it would read as a simple "photographic
reference map" at street level from each axis point going
in SE direction.
I really wanted this to show up automatically in GE which
I thought was do-able from my Picasa Web Album, but it appears
it's not so straight forward (if you want to do this, consider using
Panoramio, which asks you to geotag when you upload - the
geotagging interface is much cruder than Picasa's though).

In order to view the images I've taken and tagged, go to
my Newham_Site_Proposal album here:

http://picasaweb.google.com/inter7.hh/Newham_Site_Proposal

And click the link "Watch in Google Earth" at the bottom left hand
side. This will prompt you to save a .kml file which you can load in
GE (just double-click it, where ever you saved it to)

OR

Move your cursor to the bottom of the slideshow below, and higlight
the little yellow person icon, and then click the link which will
take you to the gallery and the option to view in GE or GM.

BTW, the site is approx. 1.4km of main road called High Street
in London E15.

I hope this also might help some of you who have been
thinking about doing the same. It has, believe it or not,
taken me HOURS to get this going. Shame we don't get much
credit for wrestling with technology...
