"X marks the spot"

Added a map in the sidebar that shows where our readers are located, I thought it could be interesting to know. And as always you, our readers, are welcome to share your thoughts on what we write about here.

/O.K.

Look, someone in Hawaii! And Southeast Asia! Cool.

The map adds new locations once a day and resets after a year. This can be changed if it, although unlikely, becomes a big red smear...

What if someone is on a boat in the Atlantic, right in the middle, will the dot be in the ocean then? That would be cool, like stepping stones over the pond.

You have to test that. Start rowing! ;)

3rd time is NOT a charm! All 3 attempts at looking at this map caused Safari to crash, just an FYI...

That's weird. It's basically a page with a picture on it, shouldn't crash a browser. I just tested the page with Safari 2.0.4 (Tiger) and 1.3.2 (Panther), both works for me.

LS said...

works fine for me in Firefix on PC, maybe Safari is the problem?

PP said...

It worked this time...then when clicking the arrow to go back, it crashed again.

Interesting - when you go to the map web page, the ads by google are selected based on the topics of this blog - when I looked it was one ad for Harley-Davidson (HAHAHA, like we like them!), one tourist train in Italy, a steam train site, and another train-related thing. Also, kind of impressive that we have had over 200 visits in two days I think!

It is when you click on "Map with smaller clusters" that you can see the ads. Right now the four ads are for:

Dotto trains
www.dottotrains.com

100s of steam train items
www.railroadcatalog.com

Jack Daniels Harley parts
www.thrillridesport.com

Train video's and DVDs
www.A-Trains.com

First dot in Africa! :)

LS said...

I noticed that too! Welcome Africans!

First dots in Russia and in New Zealand. Now there's only Alaska and Greenland left.
