My 2017-01-01 Commitment – Location Support Returns

I decided as part of my annual end-of-year Indieweb commitment, to complete an update to the location services on my site. I originally announced location support on this site in April of 2015(See Link). I’ve been working on a rewrite on and off for nearly a year now, and wanted to finally release it.

This post, for example, is set as if it was made at the Empire State Building.

Coming in the future is venue support. A venue is sort of the location equivalent of a bookmark. There are other names for it. It would allow more information about the location, and you would be able to view all posts associated with that location. This leads to what has become common on social media sites…the check-in. I used to store more information about the location in the post, and won’t be doing this anymore.

More to come on location and more, but I’m glad I got a version of this out. Thanks to Chris Aldrich for testing this out.
