Locations Help

The Location feature allows you to add a map to the bottom of your post with a flag on a location relevant to the post.  The flag also gets added to the website's Location Map, which allows users to click on any location and go directly to the associated blog post.  There are three ways to flag a location (first click on "Location" to show the map and options):

1. Type in the address of the location.  This works for the US, but it's not great for foreign locations.  

2. Zoom the map to approximately where you want (using the controls on the left side of the map).  Then click on the map and a flag will appear, which you can drag around; as you drag and re-set, the map will zoom in so you can fine tune the location.

3. Find the coordinates of the location using this website or, if it's a well known place, using wikipedia.
