(www.sweetelizabethcakes.com)

When my upgrade package was up for renewal, I decided to create a blog/website using wordpress.com because I wasn't fond of wix.com.

I have paid for an additional year of domain hosting through wix.com in order to secure my domain and not run the risk of it expiring and losing it to someone else.

I have followed the instructions on wix.com to transfer AWAY from wix.com (I would like to TRANSFER my domain name to wordpress.com). After following the instructions on wix.com, this is what I received.

"Transfer Code:

mnd548736#%

How to Use the Code?
Copy this code into the required field with your new registrar, and your domain
transfer will be completed. Please note that some registrars will require a
mandatory 60-day waiting period between purchase and transfer of domain."

Can you actually transfer a domain name to wordpress.com, or do you have to "map" it?

You cannot change the name servers on wix.com until the domain is transferred.

I have already tried to change the IP addresses on wix.com to point to wordpress.com.

Please help! I am terrible with computers and REALLY confused.

Thanks!

However, since this is just a domain mapping subscription, and it is expired, I have canceled it.

You can now re-map the domain yourself by adding it via Store -> Domains in the blog's Dashboard.

I'm currently experimenting with WordPress to see if if can be configured for use as a travel log that accumulates my locations on a map, for the duration of a trip.

I've found numerous descriptions of how to add a Google Map to my site - that 's not the question! I want to be able to add multiple location pins to to one map, rather than posting a new map every time I wan to show a new location.

The best way for this to work would be to manually set the location of each pin, not try and auto-detect from mobile phone location. That's because many locations will not have any signal. It would be necessary to upload some locations as a batch, at the next time connectivity is available. Or just log in an manually add them - I am not particular about how they get added.

This seems like a pretty simple thing to do and I'm reasonably confident it already exists, but just can't seem to find it using searches with the obvious keywords and phrases.

So I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

thanks
Colin

I am a travel blogger and would like to add a current location map to go underneath my profile. I travel all the time, I need to be able to change it easily when I'm in a new place - would this be a plug-in?

This is the kind of map I would like to use, you can see it on the right hand side of this blogs website:

http://www.tuulavintage.com

Simple, black and white, and states current location. I don't want the busy google map, I just want a simple small map for current location to go underneath my profile.

I am also a computer idiot, as well as a baby blogger, in that I am also a bit of an idiot doing anything on WordPress also.

Please help if you can, much appreciated!

Cheers,

Well I have been trying for days with this one...

I have a link that when clicked toggles a div visibility with a google map inside it. The map is in an iFrame (just pasted from the google map shortcode generator). This is not very difficult and it works.

What I want is for the map/iframe not to load, even hidden within the div, until the user clicks "Show/Hide map". I want the div to be visible and map to load asynchronously and on command after the page is loaded and when a user clicks "Show/Hide map". Thus speeding the page up, reducing data...

This is where I eventually gave up...

Show/hide map

<script type="text/javascript">
function hideshow(which){
if (!document.getElementById)
return
if (which.style.display=="block")
which.style.display="none"
else
which.style.display="block"
}
function loadmap(){
document.getElementById("mapframe").src="http://maps.google.com.au/?ie=UTF8&ll=-32.830735,147.451465&spn=8.655905,14.128418&t=h&z=6&output=embed"
}
</script>

<div id="adiv" style="font:24px bold; display: none">

The problem is with the src with google maps. I can use this above method to change the src to other basic URLs but not the URL for the google map.

Why is this. What do I do? Please help.
