  • Typekit + Geo Mashup @ Have Camera Will Travel

    Photographer David Coleman uses Typekit for the fonts on his website, and naturally wants the fonts in his map info bubbles to match their surroundings. This was my first experience with typekit, but I with a little customiztion I’d say it suits Geo Mashup nicely.

  • Author Markers at Alex Asigno’s Travel Blog

    Alex hired me to help him color his travel map markers by author instead of category. A Geo Mashup customization did the trick, and an administration page for assigning colors to authors lets him do the same trick on other blogs. Happy travels, Alex!

  • Fair Trade Towns USA

    This is one of my larger projects: a nation-wide site for communities that promote fair trade practices. My part of the project demanded a lot from WordPress and Geo Mashup – here are a few standouts: Many custom content types: towns, organizers, retailers, community organizations, and more. Front end forms for users to create content…

  • urbancapture.com – custom Geo Mashup info windows

    This urban-themed photography site uses Geo Mashup to locate images around the world. I replaced the Google info windows with customized info boxes using jQuery, along with a few other little interface enhancements, like highlighting the map marker for the featured home page image.

  • Zinn Education Project

    I’ve done some quick enhancements to this great resource for educational materials à la Howard Zinn. The front page slideshow, done with jQuery, is the most prominent, with other improvements including integration of the expanded WordPress user registration with wufoo forms and cool fun scrolly links. Great work as always with Vernal Creative.

    This up-and-coming Geo Mashup site maps murals around the world. It’s just been reviewed in the LA Times. I added a couple of good Geo Mashup features for it that will be in the next release: global maps in located posts will automatically center on the post (at last!), and an alternate clustering library (MarkerClusterer)…

  • We Are America Map

    Working with Vernal Creative, I customize Geo Mashup to create a map of submitted immigrant stories from across the united states. Additional work went into the video post submission interface, built on top of the All in One Video Pack plugin.

  • Gypset Atlas and Suggestion Form

    This site extolling a gypsy jetset lifestyle had a few special Geo Mashup requests for its atlas: custom markers, tabbed info windows, and a user submission form. I decided to do the form using a standard WordPress page template – almost everything needed is already available right there. A little extra help from the cookies…
