Neighbours via GeoURL

Want to see who's running a website near me? Just click the GeoURL button I've added to the side bar.

Setting this up is very easy; just follow the directions at the GeoURL site. All you need to know is your position (latitude and longitude in decimal degrees), which is dead easy to find out using Google Maps. Just zoom the map in all the way and center it on your location. Then just click "link to this page" and read the position out of the URL; it's the "ll" part.

For BlogSpot, just put the two tags from GeoURL into your header, republish the blog, and then ping GeoURL. Finally, add the generated HTML into your template to get a button. Don't forget to republish again so you can see it. That's it!
