How do I add a map to my blog? Any ideas where I can get one to plot the progress of my trip?

To add a map:
1. Create a map template. This can be a particular country or the whole world.

2. Once you have created your map template, you may need to log out of your travelblog and then log back in in order to see it in your templates list.

3. When you see your template in the list, click on the 'use' link. This will open your template and when you click on any point in the map, a window will pop up allowing you to name the destination and also provide a link to a website (eg: an article from your blog that talks about that location).

4. Click on any other point on the map and repeat the process. Now a line will join those two points. You can do this as many times as you wish on any map and come back and edit later if you want to add points.

Let me know if you have any questions about it.
