They also just gave me a beta version of their plug-in, which I just (3 minutes ago) installed.  They acknowledged a problem with the plug-in.  Do you want to exchange links?

Steve, I think I found the problem.  I didn't have a Google Map plugin for my site.  After adding the WP Google Maps plugin, the map embedded in your blog post showed up where it should be. In addition, the Sharebar text and the…

Although your article shows up on the Repost.us site, if you try to repost it from there the embedded Google map doesn't show up in the Preview on Repost.us, nor does it show up when the article is actually reposted. Here's what your…

Dick, it now shows up on their site and I think that this is as good as it gets I was told all is ok by their support.  My guess is that as Google Maps requires a live link and that repost.us does not support that - this is consistent with my…

Sorry, Steve.  It still doesn't insert the map and the Sharebar is missing.  I'd suggest that you contact Repost.us tech support to see if they can help.

My install is not complete.  Steps 2 and 3 - I don't know how to do - to paste some code into my sites page template and into the <HEAD> element.  I'm not that literate - I looked in the CSS, but it does not seem…

Steve, I posted the information about Repost.us. I tried republishing a couple of your posts (e.g., the one about the Freedom Trail maps).  Unfortunately, only the links to maps that you inserted in your posts get republished, not the maps…

Syndicating Your Blog's Content, Republishing Stories from Other Blogs

Thumbnail
Link exchanges are one way that bloggers can help promote each other’s work. But another method is reposting stories published on another blogger’s site.Repost.us provides a free plugin for self-hosted WordPress.org blogs that allows that blog’s posts to be syndicated and republished elsewhere, and permits that blog to repost stories from other sites that have installed the plugin.

Travel Tech on Tales Told From The Road: MapQuest on The iPhone

Traveling a few hundred miles from home by car has given me a chance to discover whether the MapQuest 4 Mobile app for my iPhone can keep me from getting lost. The answer: Yes, but so can a folding paper map from AAA.
