  • “Operation Aborted” error in Internet Explorer

    A recent change to Google Maps brought this gremlin to the hobomap and many other Google Maps API users also. I found the explanation at Mapki. The cardinal sin is putting the map-creating javascript inside a <div> or other tag. It has to be right before the closing body tag. This is a bit painful…

  • Geo Mashup 0.5 Release

    This release of the Geo Mashup WordPress Plugin includes some of the feature requests I’ve been getting. Others I’m still working on. I’ve seen some errors that I haven’t figured out yet, but they’re not showstoppers so I figured you might want the new features in the meantime. Still in the future: the coordinate entry…

  • Geo Mashup 0.4.1 Released

    No new features in this release. I’ve decided to drop all dependency on the WordPress RSS feeds – these are just done too many different ways. Most problems with posts not displaying in the infowindow have been due to this dependency. So there is now one less place for things to go wrong, and I…

  • Geo Mashup WordPress Plugin Release 0.4

    The move to Google Maps API version 2 is the motivator for this release, since Google will eventually turn off version 1. The API has also removed the XSLT functionality I was using to render the post in the infowindow.  I suspected this functionality was causing some of the loading problems people have experienced too,…

  • Geo Mashup WordPress Plugin Release 0.3.1

    The 0.3-beta package has been out for a while now, and is in use on a number of sites, so I’m dropping the beta. Check the download page for more. This release includes some minor fixes: Fixed Firefox entity unescaping – those nasty &#8214; sequences should be gone. Removed some experimental code. Moved the included…

  • Geo Mashup Plugin 0.3 Beta

    Sunday was windy and cold, so I sat in my lazyboy and cranked out some more more code. I believe this version of the Geo Mashup plugin is generally usable, but I’m calling it Beta until I know at least a few people have it working. New stuff: Added a special tag (<!–GeoMashup–>) to allow…

  • Geo Mashup Plugin 0.2 Beta

    It looks like my plugin is going to work on at least some other systems, so I’ve added a few features, fixed some problems, written a little more documentation, and released a beta version: Geo Mashup Plugin 0.2 Beta You can play with some of the improvements on the hobomap.

  • Introducing the hobomap!

    The hobomap is here, and in the pages menu. Try it out! I’m very excited about this. For a long time I’ve wanted a good way to map my outings and adventures. The WordPress Geo Plugin provides a way to map a single post, which I’ve made use of for some time, but I always…

  • Old Town Yoga Site Goes Live

    I designed and built this site for the studio where I take Yoga classes. It uses TYPO3 for content management, featuring news, email subscription, and a nice class and event calander. I like this two-column CSS layout the best of all the sites I’ve done so far. Getting the calendar extension working was the toughest…
