Shih-Hsien is a Taiwanese blogger interested in making a World Kit blog map of Taiwan. I think. All I see on his post is a bunch of question marks, but the guy links to my travels page - an old project I started and never finished (theme of my life) to represent places I’ve traveled and blogged about on a map of the world using Mikel Maron’s World Kit.

I had forgotten all about the page and now, looking back at it, it’s something I’d like to finish. As this site gets re-orgazined, I’m gonna make that one of my projects again. As a matter of fact, quite a bit of incoming traffic on this site comes from people searching for more information about integrating WorldKit with Wordpress. A few months ago I hacked the Wordpress RSS file to create a visual representation of where these posts are written. I thought it would be cool to let readers see a map of Southeast Asia as I blogged from city to city and then later to see which of the last 10 posts where blogged from San Diego (me), Brooklyn (Moreno), and D.C. (Abogado).

But when I upgraded to 1.2 (and later 1.2.1) I didn’t update the rss file and as a result, not even my WorldKit page - which is linked as an example - works. Not only that, but the three of us are too lazy to enter our own GPS info on every post.

Anyway … all stuff to work on in the future. I do really like the idea of geographic representations of blogs. San Diego, New York, and DC all have blog maps in some form and I’d like to make a map of all the blogs the three of us read to get a better idea of how international (or not) our “blog community” is.

Eric Kao, (or anyone else who reads Taiwanese) if you’re reading this, please let me know what Shih Hsien is talking about. Peas.
