Last year, when the new yahoo maps api came out, i developed a quick wordpress plugin - GeoPress - that allowed a user tag their wordpress posts with lat/long. It was a neat toy, but wasn’t as fun or usable. For example, folks could only include static maps vs the cooler, nicer draggable maps. I wanted to add a lot of features but i was unable to do so due to lack of time, needing to focus on my startup.

Earlier this year, Mikel Maron, approached me and wanted to pull together a group of folks to develop geopress into an open project. I loved the idea, and wanted to contribute along with andrew turner. Once again, time constraints did not let me contribute anything meaningful.
I am glad to see andrew made great progress and released a really really cool plugin GeoPress 2.0. Download it and play with t. Congratulations andrew, on a great job and a cool plugin!

I hope i can contribute to this plugin in future as well
