Mapping My Listing to Google Maps

I was talking today with a freind who was playing around with Google Maps. She showed me that you could make your own custom map!

I decided to map a custom map for my kauai page, on my Kauai real estate site, that would show where on the island I currently have a listed home for sale! Once I had signed in to my Igoogle account, I clicked Maps. Then Scrolled and zoomed to my section of Kauai. I then clicked My Maps, and put in a title and description. Then I moved the screen to the address of the home I had listed, and then added a pin to the map. After adding some links to the details, the price and number of Beds and Baths with a picture, I saved my new map and made it public! In the top right corner it gave me a link to the map but I wanted it to actually display on the page. So I grabbed the code to Embed the map, and plugged it into the page. It was really easy!
The neat thing is I can even post it into my blog like this:

Hope this is helpful to anyone else thinking of adding maps to their properties or websites.

Getting Info Out There

Information Infatuation

I was recently reading an article on content writing advice, that talked about how there's a big difference between your blog content and your website content. They both have a unique function, but it's important to know the difference between the real goal. I'm going to be making a bigger effort here in my blog to be more engaged, and I have taken the tip, and made efforts on site to offer more info and pictures about Kauai as well as about my kauai real estate services. Let me know if there's any particular topics you'd like to know more about the island of Kauai!
