Ghost town map

[outback97]

I'm trying to sort some time to nail down some of the missing locations but I want to to say thank you for all your work thus far!

Thanks Kurt, it's not much compared to the actual writeups themselves, but I'm glad I can contribute to the forum in a small way.

Thank you for taking the time to do this, now I need to take the time to get out and see some of them.

Bump. I'd love to get this hosted on the UGTP page:

Anyone know how to inlay a map on Word Press?

If you click the 3-dots to the right of the map title (top-left of the screen), there's an option to embed the map. But first, the owner of the map (outback97?) will need to make the map "Public on the web" - this should only make the map viewable to the public though, not editable.

Once the permissions are set, the embed option will then generate a blob of HTML that you can copy and paste into a Wordpress page. To make sure that actually works, I made a quick copy of the map, and setup a test page on my Wordpress site: https://joshbuhler.wordpress.com/map-test/

Seems to work ok.

You are hired!

OK I changed the permissions to public viewable. Here is the embed code:

Thanks for taking the time to do this. This is a tool for planning expeditions.

That'd be cool, where should we put it? The location list page? Somewhere else?

Wow, that list is very outdated.

I think we need it here:
http://www.expeditionutah.com/ghosttowns/

I can cue up WordPress permissions if anyone is comfortable with doing it? fogo?

Sounds good. I have built a handful of websites, and can usually figure out WP, so I'd be happy to try.
