Printed Matters

The Geo Mashup plugin for Wordpress looks like an easy way to geotag blog posts. This should generate a map somewhere on my site…let’s see!

Update: it works fine. I had to make a couple of changes to template files to get it to display a map somewhere on my site, which it now does if you look at the maps tab in my menu. Also you need to apply to Google for a maps API for your domain.

So I’m probably not going to be using it a whole lot, since my blogging is done from the comfort of my house and is usually about topics which don’t have a particular locale. But it’s a useful demonstration of how easy it can be to geotag things.

One final note: it adds GeoRSS tags to the RSS feeds but not to the Atom feed.
