Map Building

Hi Readers,
This week I decided to take a tangent and try map building. I tried a couple of different sites. I tried http://www.wayfaring.com/ and it worked nicely. I am still having trouble getting it to show the map behind my notes without the viewer manually pressing the map/satellite/hybrid buttons, but I was able to add a note to clarify this to the viewer. As you can see by clicking on the map located on this page, the map has a lot of depth and information embedded in it. This could be very convenient in an educational setting when the students are not familiar with how to get to the campus. If a student can't find the class, they can't be taught! I'm not sure what other educational uses it might have, but it will sure make getting to my parents Lake House easier for my friends! I also tried the http://www.mapbuilder.net/ site. It really was not as user friendly, and I disliked the adds showing up on my map. It may be a decent alternative, but after starting with wayfaring it seemed like a downgrade. I also added a widget from the Nation Safety Committee on my blog so check out the weekly safety hint! Does anyone know how to create hyperlinks on this blog while inserting different text? On our blackboard I can make the links part of my text without showing the http address, and I like that much better than what I have had to do on my blog so far. If anyone knows how to do this I would appreciate the help.
