Connecting WordPress with GIS

May 13, 2014

logoI’ll be speaking today (with Ali Green, my partner at GreenMellen) at the monthly Georgia URISA (Urban and Regional Information Systems Association) meeting here in Atlanta at lunchtime today. We’ll be discussing how to use WordPress with GIS, which is a great topic since this blog (as well as Frank’s Tahina Expedition are powered by WordPress.

Slides from the presentation can be found on the GreenMellen blog.

Do you use WordPress? What kind of fun GIS plugins do you use?

3000 posts later, Google Earth Blog moves to WordPress

April 15, 2013

It’s been a long time coming, but Google Earth Blog has finally made the jump from Movable Type over to WordPress!  With over 3,000 posts (this one is #3005) and more than 17,000 comments, it was quite a migration.  In the end, this move should be good for all of us.  In particular:

New branding

We’ve updated our logo to make it stand out more when you browsing around on line.

Easier Commenting

Comments will now be posted much more quickly, and replies can be threaded.  In addition, you can subscribe to email notifications for follow-up comments on particular posts, making it much easier to keep up with discussions that you’re a part of.

Mobile Responsive

The site is now fully mobile responsive, meaning it should look great on your phone or tablet, as well as your desktop or laptop.  The previous site was mobile compatible, but was cumbersome on handheld devices.

Faster Loading

Everything should load faster and run more smoothly for you.  Of course, we’re still ironing out the kinks after this major transition, so please leave a comment below or contact us if you come across any issues (missing pages, broken links, etc).

Thanks!
