Geotagging Feature Added to Blogger Drafts
Dec 16
You can now geotag posts in Blogger drafts. Geotagging allows readers to browse content by location on your blog. This is a great feature for local businesses that use Blogger as a marketing tool for thier business. For instance, suppose you are a landscaper and you use your Blogger blog as a portfolio of your work, showcasing different lawns and patios that you’ve designed in various posts on your blog. Now you can tag each of your posts with the appropriate city and state, so prospective clients who are browsing your blog can sort by city to view landscapes that you’ve designed in their area. This will naturally help with SEO efforts as well, since you’ll suddently have a number of posts tagged with useful information about the services your business offers, plus your service area.
As we can see below, this feature is also integrated with Google Maps:
It’s important to note that you have to login to http://draft.blogger.com to use this feature. You can read more on this feature here at the Blogger in Draft blog.

Way cool. I thought geo-tagging was brilliant when Flickr first made it available, and providing that capability for blog posts is a similarly awesome idea, particularly if the tools to view/use aggregates are robust. But even at it’s most basic, how cool is this for anybody doing a vacation blog? (Hint: I already gave the answer.)
