Adam Campbell over at Xavisys released Google Maps for Wordpress — a plug-in that makes use of WordPress 2.5’s ShortCode system for easy inclusion of Google Maps. All you need is a Google Maps API key for your WordPress site and WordPress version 2.5.1 or higher. (Their site does not appear to view in IE […]

Google Maps Quicktag Updated
April 4th, 2008 · No Comments
Google Maps Quicktag has been updated only by version number to reflect its compatibility with WordPress version 2.5. While no upgrade is necessary, the automated upgrade system with the repository at WordPress.org caused some to think that it was not compatible.

Google Maps Quicktag for Wordpress, MU Version
February 24th, 2008 · No Comments
The Google Maps Quicktag for Wordpress plug-in has been updated to include a version for WordPress MU installations, including code contributed by a user.
WordPress MU, by default, does not allow the use of the iframe tag and its attributes, thus preventing the publishing of embedded Google Maps and Street View in MU. What the added […]

- Thu, 22 Nov 2007 at 3:41 pm · Dylan Kuhn over at Cyberhobo.net has a plug-in for geo-mashing blog content with Google Maps. This is the kind of thing I like to see in observing the potentials of social networking and content aggregation. Mix that in with making WordPress capable of parsing out GPS metadata tags in images — and you have something a little closer to what I envision. Another great plug-in to see, is GigPress — a WordPress plug-in that provides chronological event listing, which can also auto-link the event address to Google Maps for display. · (0)

- Mon, 12 Nov 2007 at 12:52 pm · Peter Westwood writes about the recent round of developments in WordPress 2.4 — a highlight that jumped out for me is the addition of image metadata extraction. Frank Taylor at Google Earth Blog also forwarded this interesting piece by the New York Times this morning, on the failed FIA government spy satellite program. · (4)

CSS3 Transparency Hack for LightBox 2
November 7th, 2007 · No Comments
Recently, I added a feature for image viewing when thumbnails are present in the content, which is a plug-in for WordPress called LightBox 2. By default, a user would have clicked an image preview thumbnail and the large image would view in a plain browser window. I had actually implemented a version of LightBox on […]

- Mon, 29 Oct 2007 at 3:17 am · I’m officially a Gravatar. I’m still considering whether I’ll implement it here in the comments, or observe for awhile to see where I pop-up. I actually didn’t realize there were so many ways to implement Gravatar, and across so many other platforms — until I signed up and created my own through the very quick and easy process. · (2)
- Sat, 27 Oct 2007 at 6:00 am · I upgraded the site to WordPress 2.3.1 over a morning coffee. One of the major upgrades last week was to version 2.3 — after waiting awhile until a few plug-ins caught-up. I still have to go through the entire site and clean-up the taxonomy — recategorizing and adding tags, possibly sending a couple of the less interesting posts to the bin. I’m really digging this upgraded schema though — kind of can’t wait to see if someone figures out they can tie-in the taxonomy structure with a visual representation of tagged images. · (0)
Easy Asides for WordPress
October 26th, 2007 · 35 Comments
I was looking for a way to incorporate Asides posts in my WordPress template, and came across a few options. Unfortunately, none of the options that I found would accomodate the way that I have my AdSense ads recursing through the loop to figure out at what position to place them. (Unfortunately, you have a […]

- Thu, 4 Oct 2007 at 6:53 pm · I caught the release of the WordPress Petition Plug-in through the feeds, and couldn’t help but note it. I’ve wondered how long it would be for the blogosphere to incorporate utility to organize and project in the true spirit of democracy — the inherent functionality that the Internet affords us, above all else. Unfortunately, my technical geek-ish-ness is usually undermined by being just as aware that there remains to be only ~50% of the US population with access to the Internet. A sobering thought, isn’t it? Perhaps ironic — about the same number of people typically turn-out to vote in elections. · (0)
WordPress Plugin, Google Maps Quicktag
August 22nd, 2007 · 48 Comments
Since Google Maps can now be ‘embedded’ in a similar way to YouTube and Google Videos, I decided to create a basic plug-in for WordPress users and share it with whoever might think it’s useful. All it is, is a simple addition of a button in the administration panel editor — which pops open a […]

- Fri, 8 Jun 2007 at 4:35 am · Charles and Aaron over at WordPress Podcast discussed some comments I left regarding an idea that Aaron mentioned he’d had in Episode 24, about a strict form of serving Blog content. It paralleled well to the ideas myself and friends have had about Entity based sharing and confluence via the Web using XML, RSS, etc, and I hoped to highlight some initial concepts. In Episode 25, however, I think what they’re requesting is a bit more ellaboration. · (0)
