How do I source an image with HTML in Adobe Muse?

Question

Hello, I am wanting a horizontal slideshow for images and I got the code to work nicely in my muse website and all I need to do now if populate it with images. I have looked into the syntax for placing an image and I am not too sure how to handle the sourcing (as I've never done code before).  It's to go something like this:
<img src="url" alt="some_text">
I have the images to place in the slideshow sized, cropped, and ready to go in, but I do not know how the input the syntax to "source" my images - they are just sitting in a folder in "my pictures" on my desktop. My workplace has a server where we all can access the same files...will that help?  I've seen where people reference images in their code simply by typing the web address of their website with the image name at the end....which confuses me! -> how do I upload an image to my Muse website without it being seen and then reference it in a slideshow?  That process doesn't seem to make sense. I'm lost! Help please!

Here are a couple o links that will help in your quest and will answer 95% of your questions.

The other 5% is how well will Muse play with all that. To that I cannot  answer fully because I haven't tested every scenario. Again, the inherent nature of Muse is "designed" to stray away from custom coding. Also in your previous post it is a little unclear as to your where all your Muse folders/files are residing. IE: on your companies server or on BC or a bit of both. I know ultimately all your trying to do is point to something. Seems simple enough right? And there may in your developement come a time when you need the more advanced CMS features, which is why BC seems logical.
What you find along the way is that it can get more involved then you anticipated. Certainly if you can make it work then go for it. The problem is at times, while things can seem simple in theory, without sufficient practice employing those theories (the coding/the syntax) then any # of errors can happen leaving you scratching your head and cursing why you bothered in the first place. Another option is to rethink your strategy. Is it really all that important to have the uber cool linear continuous scrolling effect? Will this define my site? Can I implore some imagination and thinking and make it easier on myself by using the tool at hand (Muse) to it's max to achieve the end goal?
Just some food for thought but as previously stated if you can make it work then go for it. And if the mods or other users can be of more help than I, then that would be great as well!
Happy Holidays, good luck, and please report your findings :-)
Edit - With so much going on myself, I forgot to mention that (when you have all your  i's dotted and t's cossed) you could try inserting the script into the html for head feature via the metadata tab in your page properties.
