WordPress Tutorials – Adding GeoLocation to Your Post

Hey Everyone! In this tutorial I touch upon adding geolocation to your posts! Running a travel blog? Maybe a site based on restaurant reviews? Wanna show where you camped last weekend? Where precisely the club was that you saw that great last week? The “Geolocation” plugin I talk about gives you the ability to insert a link/map to any address on the globe very easily. NOTE: This only pertains to self-hosted WordPress sites. WordPress.com sites have this plugin baked into the infrastructure of there site already! So write about what you experienced and then show the world where the inspiration was! Cheers! Tad
