\"GoogleDo you want to guide your visitors in your wordpress posts by adding a Google Map in your blog post? Its not as simple as adding a video to your blog post<\/a> because you need a wordpress plugin to make this work along with Google Maps API which you need to signup.<\/p>\n

Signup for Google Maps API Key<\/strong>
\nIn order to get started with Google Maps API Key you need to signup here – http:\/\/www.google.com\/apis\/maps\/signup.html<\/a>. This API allows you to embed google maps into your webpages be it wordpress based blogs or any other web pages. A Single API key is valid for complete domain ie any directories under it and these key’s are provided on domain name basis.<\/p>\n

\"Generate<\/p>\n

Once you enter your specific domain name on which you are going to embed these maps you get the API key.<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/a><\/p>\n

Next you need to download Inline Google Maps WordPress Plugin<\/a> from WordPress Plugins Directory. Upload the plugin to your wp-content>plugins folder and Activate it. Under the Settings>Inline Google Maps Tab you can find settings of this plugin. Here you need to enter your Google Maps API Key which you recieved using the above process.<\/p>\n

Iam using this plugin on my jobs<\/a> website and trying to help the website visitors in easily finding the job locations by embedding location maps with the posts. You can specify the Maps langauge ie English\/Japanese and also change the settings of the Width & Height of the map if your theme does not allow you the normal maps size.<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/a><\/p>\n

Now the plugin is activated, API key entered and its ready to start working. Next you need to check out Google Maps<\/a>, for your required location. Iam looking to add a Google Map in a article named as Jobs in Las Vegas<\/a> where i will need Las Vegas Location Map, which i can find using the search box in google maps.<\/p>\n

Once the Map is loaded you can find Link<\/strong> option in the right side top corner of the map, which you need to click to get the ‘Paste Link in email or IM<\/strong>‘ code. Copy the code and then enter into your wordpress blog’s Write Post section.<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/a><\/p>\n

In the blog’s Write Post section you need to write a small line like ‘Map’ and click on ‘Insert\/Edit Link<\/strong>‘ option to get the Insert Link box. You need to make sure that the title should be ‘googlemaps’ for this thing to work.<\/p>\n

\"Insert<\/p>\n

Once you add this link code, and publish the map works perfectly. Try out implementing this process in your blog in case you are looking to add Google Maps<\/a> in your blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
