Blogoforum Blogoforum - miejsce creates a map for your site

recent > web2.0 > poland

miejsce.info is a site which promices I can get an embeddable map there. Let's see! I'm going to hit it and mark a place I like to go fishing near Kyiv.

I start at http://miejsce.info/en/ . What is miejsce? I don't know actually. Perhaps something in Polish. Maybe someone will tell.

Hint: From the homepage, it's not immediately clear what the site can give me (which is a map I can embed) and why would I need it. I had to return to the site several times to figure this out. Perhaps authors would want to make it more clear.

So I checked the tutorial but I stuck at step 2 because I don't know what "Greeting info" is. I'm jumping right in to "I want a map!"

There is no Ukraine on the list so I use "other"

Alright I'm locating the place, provide description, click "save" and let me see if it will work.



Alright after some manipulations with provided code (Blogoforum places BR when it sees new line) the map is here!

Bugs! First time the map loads it shows "Enter your greeting info here" instead of name and description I provided. Also I would like to be able to hide that list of places on the right by default.

Hint: miejsce authors may want to add "get a map like this" link pointing to the site. Good luck!

RE: miejsce creates a map for your site

Heeeey Denis! Thanks for introducing blogoforumers to this tool :) "miejsce" means "place" in polish. I know it's a tongue-breaker (it seems so even for the Ukrainians) so english version will be called "placio" instead :)
