Here are some WordPress plugins worth trying:

• Google Analytics for WordPress
• Adsense Manager
• Sociable adds links to del.icio.us etc on every post (see Share and Enjoy squares below) !
  
• XML Google Maps

If you have a Series 60 mobile phone with GPS or bluetooth GPS such as a NOKIA 6220 you can help OpenStreetMap by uploading GPX tracks. First you need to upload some Series 60 GPS tracking software to your mobile then you can start posting your tracks to OpenStreetMap.

Free World Outline Maps have taken public domain maps from The University of Texas, Austin, USA and created creative commons free libre open maps that you can download and use !

They also have a great paint-your-own map webpage

geoFlock gives you a suite of in-built maps and mapping tools for your web browser (now based on Minimap Firefox version, but retaining geotag dialogs).

Create and save a sidebar map using the addresses or address links you find on web pages, or by manually adding locations. View traffic Info, drag and drop kml files, Geotag Flickr photos within the Flock photo uploader, geotag blog posts within the blog editor (including microformat geo class values, view in google maps/google earth links and insertion of quikmaps.com maps).

Hi-Def San Francisco are doing some amazing things with their San Francisco Bay webcam :

• time lapse ships videos
  
• real time shipping map that uses AIS data
  
• panoramic panoramas dawn moon night

How do these work ? It's as if they've turned a photo into a Google map and are using the Google map player to display it ? Can anyone do this ?

Upload your photos to Panoramio and geotag them !

Then add the following into an iframe on your site

• k = kind of map, 0 = map, 1 = satellite, 2 = hybrid
• user = youruserid !
