Geocoding the blog
Finally spent some time figuring out how to geocode my blog. I’d been fiddling half-heartedly with this for a few weeks and never had much luck. Then I realized it’s because the latest version of WordPress no longer has the geo tagging stuff built in. From the plugin comments for the Geo plugin I eventually got working, it seems like it used to be there so not entirely clear why it’s gone!
Note: if you’re running wordpress 1.5.2, you need the 1742 version of this geo plugin, not the 1741 version that purports to be the latest version. Here’s a direct link to the 1742 version in case you can’t find it on the site (took me 15 minutes or so to figure this out when I was getting all of the “header already exists” errors in the wordpress admin site): http://dev.wp-plugins.org/file/geo/tags/1.0/geo.php?rev=1742
Anyway, after getting the geocoding working on the site, next step was to get it registered properly with feedmap.
