lewism worldmap

I have just added a new section called map which locates on a worldmap (googlemap) any post which refers to a specific location in the world. You can scroll around and see where lewsim has been, as I can include coordinates with any post automatically! It should be really useful for a blog that is mainly focused on Architecture like this one, I’m not sure why a few more architecture bloggers haven’t taken it up as yet (pingmag does this), so this may be a small first. Anyway there are a few posts there already and I will be going through my archives adding to this over the next couple of weeks. Asides from being able to graphically show and locate buildings or locations I talk about which will be useful for anyone who wants to visit these places, it is also a good way of adding to a purely date based archive system to one in which relevant posts always stay fresh and the posts of a blog can if you like unfold in a kind of journey like a tour round a new place or of the flâneur walking the city. Definitely a new way to consume a blog. Thanks to yongfook for his plug-n-play google map plugin and geo plugin by owen winkler which allow me to do this. Note I have been recently uploading kmz files for located posts but will stop doing this for the moment (It may return later in a slightly different form) as this method I like better.
