I couldnt be bothered to add the rest of my homeboys, my little gang will have to edit themselves in.

Very cool. I had almost lost the USA. But where does one go about inputting the information......?

 

[redarmy11]

Really we should make a page in the encyclopedia, then everyone can edit the same map.

It needs to be dynamically interactive. Having people edit a graphic file with their own scribbles will rapidly degenerate into a complete clusterfuck.

i think there is a google tool thing that can be used for this, but I dont know exactly what it is or how to use it... does anyone know?

I was just about to say that. I've seen maps that can be linked to your website that allow users to place a "pushpin" at their location and edit their info. That would be pretty slick.

No idea how you create one though. Someone needs to read up on it. ie: preferably not me.

It could be better just to Google the locations of the members you want to

know where they live. Most have already put in their bios where they are

from.

Yep. That's exactly it. But I think a site admin would have to set it up to be accessible on this site, to members only. I don't think any of us weenies can just set one up.

No it would be better, ie lovelier, to have a big flashy map like the one we started with filled with extraordinary geographical revelations. It's just such an awful lot of work is all.

Opps.

 

[redarmy11]

Whoops. Butter-fingers.
