If you’ve never done this, it’s pretty easy.  In Google Earth, find each place, click the “Add Placemark” yellow pushpin, and fill out as much info as you want and repeat.  When you have saved all of your Placemarks make sure that they are all in one folder (right-click > Add > Folder).  Then right-click on your folder and choose either:
“Save as…”, then upload it to your web-space/website.
Or
“Share\Post…” and it will take you to the Google Earth Community posting wizard where you register and then choose Share\Post again to upload it.

I just tried this and it works fairly well:


Here's mine

I know this is a "friendly" site, and many here are really cool / probably trustworthy, but this IS the internet.

There is a reason I didn't say where I live. with some work, and some research you may be able to extrapolate where I live from old old posts, but I doubt anyone is going to work it out.

That said I am not comfortable giving any personal information out on the net. If God forbid someone did happen, I would feel personally responsible for my own life being ruined (I'm talking identity theft or something similar).

I don't have the resources or family / friends that I could fall back on in an emergency. I would literally become homeless and destitute. that is not worth the risk to me. sorry but that's just my feelings on it.

It’s probably wise to be cautious.  Old places that you’ve lived shouldn’t be too risky, however.  Anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable could just name cities (as most above have).

No kiddin'? My wife and I plan to move to the Boise area in January '08. My youngest daughter lives in Meridian with her husband and three kids.

Boise is great.  I applied for a job there about 10 years ago and would have been happy to move there.

My Grandfather bought sixteen acre lots in the mid 1930's, gave one to my dad who built the house in 1946 and when he passed away in 1981 I bought it from my ma.  

Third generation on this acre.  Born in 1953 and still here.  Turned down about a half dozen great job offers but Im still here.  

This house raised my parents four children and five of mine.  Hope to pass it on to one of them someday if the area holds up.

Wow, some of you really have lived all over. Some of you from military families travelled an awful lot. Which just proves how tedious my life was, despite my best efforts to do something interesting with my life.

1959-2005 Dublin, Ireland
2005-2007 Galway, Ireland

That's it. Hopefully it will be Dublin again in 2008 or anywhere else but here. I can't stand Galway, seriously overrated as a place to live.

It couldn't been quite different though. I got a green card in 1989 and tried to enlist in one of the US armed services at the time. But was overage:cry  Then I would have a bunch of military bases to add to my list.

[Arlo]

But ... but ... Dublin and Galway are where I wanna be!

[cpxxx]

I'm probably just bitter and twisted;)  Would have been better for me to have moved around a bit and then settled back here.  Still can't get to like Galway though. But I am in a minority. (a cranky one:p )

[Coshy]

1970-1994 various places scattered between Hagerstown, MD and Waynesboro, PA
1994-1995 Camp Casey, Korea
1995-1998 Fort Hood/Killeen/Coperas(SP?) Cove, Tx
1988-2000 Talledega, AL - Fort Rucker, AL - then back to Talledega
2000-2001 Marlow, WV
2001-2006 Hedgesville, WV
2006- present Martinsburg WV (just bought a new house)

Nice to see a couple people from this general area!

We've visited them there several times and like the area. It is drier and cooler than this part of Texas which are pluses for me. The cooler part not so much for my wife. I've never snow skied or broken my neck. I may give both a try.

Yep, I'm there every other week now. Still trying to figure out how to move up there without being able to sell my house here. I was one of the few people rooting for the wildfires last week.
