A New Toy For Your Blog!
Yet Another Gadget To Slow Your Load Times!
UPDATE!!!!
Via Laurence at Is Full Of Crap, I present for your perusal the latest in blog-gadgets!
BlogMaps!
It's pretty easy to use, just enter your street address or your latitude/longitude, and it'll add your blog to the database. It also gives you handy little bits of code to paste into your template so others can see where you are!
To submit your blog, you must have one of the following feed formats: RDF, RSS 2.0, ATOM (Blogspotters, you're covered! We have ATOM.xml feeds!)
For those of you like myself who are into anony-blogging, I recommend you pull out your GPS receiver and get your position through that instead of using your home address. If you're fresh out of GPS receivers, you can go to this site and zoom in on your location. It takes a while to zoom in on your neighborhood, but it's accurate to 6 decimal places. Since it can put the "X" right on your doorstep, I spoofed it by pretending to live in a park several blocks away. Well, as far as you know, anyway.
This could be a pretty handy gadget for planning blogmeets and such. Only 4000+ U.S. blogs have signed up as of today, but you know this is gonna be as popular as accusing Glenn Reynolds of having too many puppy smoothies! Get in while the getting's good!
UPDATE!!!!
This is not as robust as it could be and was shut down for a while yesterday, either through traffic/bandwidth issues or just the javascript freaking out. I meant to post this last night after testing it, but couldn't get it to work. So, I'll try again tonight, but use at your own risk, and save a copy of your unaltered template!
