How to Make your Google Maps POP!

Last week another Rainer asked how I customize my google maps like the one below:

Google Map
This is SUPER easy and only takes 3-4 minutes to do.  Instead of doing a "how to" using screen shots I put together this short video of how I add pictures, color, custom links and different font to my google maps.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Michelle....great stuff!

I wanted to use Kompozer but it comes in a Zip file, and I have to install that software. UGH! I have Nvu on my old laptop and I guess I could go over there when I really want to do something different.

Thanks for this great video. I'll be referring to it often.

Michelle, what a great tutorial ! Thanks!!!

Google Maps API protocol, screen share software recommendation (better than the one I've been using)... and, oh, you sell real estate? What can you NOT do?
