We had a recent question from a viewer on how they could add a map of a certain area to their blog, and have decided to include the response here on our blog for others to read as well.
1. First go to to Google Maps web site (http://maps.google.com) and pan to the location that you want to feature and then zoom into the desired zoom.
2. On the top right corner of the map, click the word "Link" this will open a box below the link with several options in it. Click on the link titled "Customize and preview embedded map" to select some options for your map (sample). After you configure your map to the way that you like it, copy the HTML code from the bottom textbox (title" Copy and paste this HTML to embed in your website") .
3. Paste the custom embeded HTML code into your website or your blog editor.
That is all there is too it, you can still have a simple Google Map on your website or blog, even if you do not want to worry about getting an API for your website and learning to edit code to customize it for your site.
To learn more, see the Google Maps user guide.
