Add localized Google map to your blog

Add Google maps to your local area blog posts. People love interactive maps and they can add value when embedded in your localized blog posts.  How can you get a localized map for your blog? Go to http://maps.google.com/ and generate a map based on local area searches. For example if you are blogging about your local schools a good map to create would be a map that includes schools around your area. To accomplish this do a search for schools in your city such as “San Luis Obispo CA schools”.

Now that you have the desired map results Google makes it really easy to get a code snippet of the map for placing in your blog. From the map results click the “link to this page” hyperlink and copy/pase the HTML code Google provides into your blog.
