This post may have a limited audience, but it explains a capability I thought added a great deal to my travel blog. My travel blog<\/a> has the focus you might expect – I write posts based on the trips my wife and I take.<\/p>\n

A travel blog by definition describes experiences at many specific places. The location is part of the context for each post. I use Blogger for this particular blog and after several years of writing posts about traveling, I finally noticed that Google allows the author to associate a location with each post. I am guessing few Blogger bloggers use this feature, but I thought it might be worth exploring.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The text box to enter the desired location appears when you select the “Location” icon appearing in the right-hand column of the Blogger authoring page. What you enter here can be general (the name of a town) or more specific (a complete address). Because I try to include photos in most of my posts, if I use a photo captured with my phone, I use the location data stored by the phone in the EXIF data included in the photo file.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The location you enter will appear at the bottom of the post. This location is also a link that offers access to the\u00a0location you specify as it appears on Google maps.<\/p>\n
