Craig -- Question -- You ended in HTML.  If you need to go change back into wysiwyg to modify the post, it does weird things.  Once I change to html to embed an iframe, I keep it there (in html). Only problem is if I want to add anything, I have to then modify the html code directly which I would rather not do.  Any suggestions?  Thanks for another great video.

Barbara - as you know, you have to be in HTML view to paste in the embed code. If you need to edit the body of the text of the article it is much easier to do in WYSIWYG ... however, this view in AR seems to eat up the iframe codes. So when you post the iframes disappear. If you need to simply rewrite a sentence or correct a spelling mistake, try as best as you can to stay in HTML mode as hard as that is to read with all the codes. However, if you must go to WYSIWYG you'll need to bounce back once more through HTML and paste your embed code(s) back in again. For this reason you may want to keep a reference document with your embed codes for future reference in case you need to go back to them again. Hopefully AR in the future will give us a better editor that will preserve iframe codes... but for now this seems to be the procedure that will get you through it.

I tried in Chrome and figured it had to be a Chrome problem, so I went to IE and guess what, it isn't a Chrome problem...............I can't get it to save a specific size nor can I get the map to post.. I do get a little link at the bottom of a blank area with a link to click to get to the map, but no map..................did they change something since this was posted? 

I also have one heck of a time getting the link to do anything when I click on it...................what am I doing wrong???????????????????

Debi - I see that happen sometimes - the white blank spot where the google map or youtube embed is placed. Are you by chance using chrome (that's my favorite browser). I see it in chrome though sometimes when I post, I have to refresh once (shortcut f5 key) to get it to show up.

I just went to your post (nice map!) and saw it just fine.
I hope that helps your specific case. (that it just needs a refresh to solve)

Thank you Craig for teaching me how to create google maps. I had trouble at first because I use Chrome and only saw a white box where the map was, but on your advice (your answer to another's similiar question) I refreshed my browser with F5 and I saw the map!  Lots of fun and very useful to know.  Thanks so much.

This is a great article which I have bookmarked.  My only question is do we have to credit Google or Google maps when we use a picture or embed a map into our articles?

Eric - When you embed a google map using the iframe HTML code, the Google attribution will appear automatically. If you were ever to to screen capture and insert as a static image, you are required to give the same google attribution that you see at the bottom of the map when you captured it (i.e. don't crop off the attribution text when you make your image) - good question!
