Hey everyone! This is the second and last episode in the short series I did on the Widget System you get out of the box with WordPress 3.x. I don’t address what I covered in the first episode at all so if you missed that one, stop what you’re watching and skip back one. It’ll definitely help with fleshing out the questions you may have with this video. Hopefully after watching this, you’ll have a much better understanding of the widgets that WordPress gives you right out of the box! Take care and enjoy! Tad

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
