Creating an Interactive Travel Map using the Google Maps API

I've played again with the google maps api and started working on an interactive travel map. The idea is that everyone can add new locations and view the locations added by others.

I've also written a tutorial about this, you can read it here.

Grey box – a fancy popup window

I've found a neat javascript tool today, GreyBox. It's a javascript popup window that can be used to show websites, images and other content in a nice way.

It's really easy to install and use in your websites. You just have to download the latest version, add some configuration settings and scripts in your page's head section and you're done! All that's left to do is append a rel tag on your a tags that you want to show in the box.

There are a few examples on their site to get you started. Enjoy!

improvements for Ani’s updater

I've added the possibility of saving your accounts data. No, not on my site, directly on your computer in a cookie. The cookie is stored on your computer and you won't have to write your account data every time, just use the "read cookie" button.

I have other ideas for improvements and I also need to add more social networks, but I need to find some free time first :)

Enjoy!

changes to facebook & twitter updater

I've made some improvements to the application!

In case you have more than one account on a social network, you can now update up to 3 different accounts per social network. I could increase that number, but I think 3 is enough. I've used a simple javascript function to add more rows to the table.

I've also added facebook like, twit this and digg this links for sharing the application.

Enjoy!
