Post Google Map Plugin for WordPress
We are excited to announce the release of the Post Google Map plugin for WordPress and WordPress MU.
This plugin allows you to add multiple addresses to a post/page and have those addresses automatically plotted on a Google Map in a sidebar widget. This is a great plugin to help localize your stories, events, news, etc.
Hovering over a plot will display the title of the post, address, and also a thumbnail from the post if any images exist. Easily add and delete a single or multiple addresses to each post/page. Viewing a single post/page displays only addresses attached to that post/page, viewing anything else will show the most recent plots across your entire site.
You can also set a custom title and description for each address saved. If no title or description is entered the post title and excerpt will be used.

The Post Google Map plugin features options to help you customize your map, including filtering by category and what type of map to display (normal, satellite, hybrid, etc).

One of the great things about WordPress is how it can be customized to fit the needs of anyone. No matter what your website is or the functionality you require, WordPress (with the help of its talented community of developers) can provide it for you!
We recently worked with Michael Corwin on his new photography website, MobbedMusic and we think this is a great example of just how versatile WordPress is! Michael was looking to create a website with functionality similar to that of TasteSpotting.com, but with a focus on music and concert photographers and connecting photographers with fans, artists and industry professionals. Instead of the “normal” content of posts and comments, Mobbed Music allows the user to upload images and vote for their favorites.
To design MobbedMusic we started with the WooTheme theme shown below. We then customized it to fit the desires of our client. If you’re looking for a website that’s “outside the box” contact us today!
