Where in the world? Part II

I have been spending what spare time I can get trying to upgrade and enhance the map features in the new Where in the world? section.

There’s now a map of post locations (i.e. the locations mentioned in the posts, not which computer I was sitting at when I wrote them!). Click on one of the map ‘pins’ and you’ll get a pop-up summary of the post.

There’s also a map of image locations. When you click on a map pin here you get a thumbnail of the image and the date, title etc.

In each case there’s just a small sample set of data at the moment, but I’ll go back and georeference all the galleries in the Places section for starters, and make sure any new images have geo data where appropriate.

I love it, but what do you think?

Where in the world?

I have just launched a new experimental feature, a map showing all the locations for which I have made posts. You can find it, with just a sample set of data at the moment, at Where in the world?. I am now looking at ways of integrating this with data on image locations from the gallery, as well as looking at functional improvements to the map.

More soon….

Site maintenance

I will be doing some maitenance work on the site during this afternoon – 4 December.

Don’t be surprised if some of the links aren’t working, or images aren’t displaying, during this time.

Update 9pm: things should be back to normal. If you spot anything odd, please let me know.

Agghhhhhhhh!

It seems my web host has made changes to the way the server is set up to make it more secure, but this has completely broken my image gallery software (Gallery2). I’ll be looking at it further this evening in the hope that it won’t be too difficult to get up and running again……

Update 11 Nov 2.30pm: I have now traced the solution to this and am just waiting for my host to make some changes to the gallery data files. All should be resolved shortly.

Update 11 Nov 5.00pm: My host has made the appropriate changes and everything should now be back to normal. As ever, if you do spot anything then please send me any error reports or suggestions for improving the site. Thanks
