With so many travel blogs out there it would be great to be able to display a single map on the homepage with drop pins that could hyperlink to posts about the country/area. It would give travel blogs (and other blogs too) greater searchability and make them really reader-friendly.

I was hoping for something like Community Walk maps, but this is better than we had.

But it is possible, have a look at this page for an embedded example.

I'm going to try again with OS Openspace (UK specific), following instructions here. Just as soon as the webmap builder is back up and running...

Create a point/polyline/polygon file using a GIS of your choice (I recommend the excellent and free QGIS), or even in google earth.

Save this as a kml file with a google mercator projection.

Have a google account and login to google maps. Hit create map. You can then upload your data, or draw afresh. Save the map...

Click on the link/chain icon. Copy the lower html code and paste into the text version of your wordpress.com post.

Job done!

Worth saying it didn't work first time for me, although certainly is now. I'll post a link to show the finished results when I've finished writing it.

Although very likely that it will be a google based solution.

I'd like to add an interactive map to my blog using layers from a GIS. Is there a way to do this on wordpress.com?

I suspect the easiest way will be to use google maps, but this is a long way from ideal as it ties me to using background maps from google - not ideal for my purpose.

Help much appreciated!
Michael
