Answer: Because I am using Images, I wouldn't use connections. I reread
this page, having not understood it before. Now, I understand it. lol
http://dia-installer.de/doc/en/custom-shapes-chapter.html#custom-shapes-shape-style-attribute
I would use this (from that page):
Update:

<svg:image x1="..." y1="..." width="..." height="..." xlink:href="..." />

Question 2: Still confused on.

Lastly:
Question: Do I save the Shape file as ".shape" or as ".xml" or what? Thanks!

The original error I had, was NOT creating a Shape file. What I had only
