Google Maps gets easier

Before if you wanted to add a google map to a website or a blog, you needed to have a little programming knowledge in Javascript and had to apply for an API key to get it to work.

Now Google maps has made it easier to add a map to a website or blog. This could be really beneficial for business owners, invites to events, or showing some pics of your holiday.

To embed your own map into your website or blog do the following.

1. Go to Google Maps
2. Login into your google account. (They free :))
3. Click on My Maps
4. Find your point on the map you want to share.
5. Click on”Link to this page”, and copy and paste the code that is given to you.

As an example, I have created a map for the venue of the Durbs 27Dinner, Ciao Itallia.
