Location tagging blog entries
As some of you may have already noticed, I've added the ability to tag each blog post with a latitude and longitude; on the user front-end you will see a "Blogged from" link, which, when clicked, shows the location of the blog entry in a popup using Google Maps (if you're reading this via a feed, then you'll need to view blog entries on the site to see this). You can also view the location of all blog entries I've made; when clicked, the red markers will tell you the latitude and longitude, the nickname I gave that location (if it's a location I regularly blog from) and the number of posts made from that location.
The coolest bit is actually on the admin front-end, where you use Google Maps and a drag-and-drop marker to select the location you're blogging from. I hope to add location tagging to blog comments too, so you guys will get to use this functionality when you're leaving a comment on a blog entry (and then I'll be able to map a blog entry and where the comments on it came from).
I'm after some feedback on improvments that could be made, ideas on other ways to map the location data, etc. Matt and Geffy have already mentioned a few things (such as making the the "x blog posts made from here" on the "All blog posts" tab link to a page listing all the blog posts from that location). I'm also planning to add the ability to upload a photo for each location, which would appear in the map marker balloon.
Drop me an e-mail, let me know what you think.
