Loading Google Map Help?
Hello, hoping there may be a website wiz out there! A website newbie trying to get one sorted before leaving for Africa in October (nothing like leaving it to the last minute!)... hence my deciding to get hosted on a WYSIWYG site (Website Builder Plus if you need to know). I wanted to load a google map onto it but am having no luck; the map doesn't show, just the HTML code I pasted into the page once I've saved it. I have tried researching this online but am just getting more confused! :confused1:
What am I doing wrong, and am I even pasting the code to the right area?
Thanks in advance for any advice...
Allison

Website?
Welcome to the Forum Allison.
You need to write it like this - LINK TO MAP then highlight this with a right click and -
then go to LINKS on your program and put in the full HTML link address to the Google Map Page. Don't forget to include the first bit http://
Finally then save the changes
That should sort it.

Thanks for the replies. I have tried the suggestions, and still only the code shows on site. Having investigated further i think my mistake is not having published yet (apparently map only shows once site is published?) so will keep you posted as to how it goes once (if?) published.
Fingers crossed!

I´m a newbie with websites too, but I know that using Typepad for my website, I have to choose an option that tells Typepad that I´m entering html code to embed the map, and not simply inserting text or a link to the map. That probably doesn´t help at all, especially using another host, but something is better than nothing.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
