Geo plugin for WordPress

Another geo-related post.

I’ve installed the Geo plugin for WordPress which attaches geographic coordinate information to posts and the blog as a whole.

This blog is currently located at latitude: and longitude: (these values are generated dynamically from the settings of this blog which the plugin manages) and here’s a map.

UPDATE

And because I know shit about php I can’t work out how to display the values that I mention in the post.

UPDATE

Seems the functions only work outside of the posts. So I’ve added the ‘Location’ strip to the header which accomplishes the same effect.

dealing with the sidebar

As I’ve mentioned before, the sidebar is way too cluttered so I’ve done something about it.

I’ve moved some of the more straightforward lists up to just below the header to tidy them up. I’m going to do something with a photographic image, which will be quite a departure from my normal flat colour schemes. Ooh, radical!

These new strips will also keep the body of the page much cleaner for adapting it to a photoblog layout. I want to convert the calendar into a strip of numbers, rather than a table, but as far as I can tell the PHP for creating this is a mite complicated. I’m sure I’ve seen it done this way somewhere else, it’s just a matter of finding that site again and seeing how it was done.
