To everyone who helped me Hi sorry, I'm probably doing this wrong, but I wanted to thank everyone who sent me replies to help me put a map that I can edit on a blog page. Thanks to you all, I have managed to do it, nothing too sophisticated, but it does the job. One suggetion was save to photobucket, and then link to blog. I couldn't use photobucket, could be me or maybe not compatible with Wordpress. Anyway, I noticed a widget on wordpress for flicker, so I put it on there, update it and then copy back. So please have a look and see what you think. http://ericscoastalkayak.wordpress.com/ Thanks so much. Jane:)

Hi have copied it into my pictures, thanks. Not sure what to open it in now to draw my line bearing in mind I need to put a link in my blog to get to it once I have the document that I keep updating. Do you have any suggestions, thanks I know I'm a pest

Hi, this map looks great. You're right the one I downloaded is huge. Can I use the one you have sent? If so how. I have tried to draw a line on it in paint, and yes I can draw the line, but no way can I change colour. I click on the colour but it still just draws in dark gray. Where do you suggest I save it so that I can just draw another line on each day or whenever. I know its probably me (well definately) but I can't believe how difficult I am finding this??:confused:

Yes will do, thanks again. Will let you know how I get on. Jane

Fab Oh yes, this is just the map I need a million thanks. Can you help me with how I save it? Then I need a link to my blog. Once I've saved it in the right place, how do I add a hyperlink to it?

You are wonderful :p Have just downloaded a map from OS site, thanks so much. Now I need to know how to save it in the correct format etc, and then how can I link it to my blog

Help for me Thank everyone for your replies. What I need is a) where can I get a map, I know I could scan one or something, but how then can I draw a line on it to show where he is etc. Once I have that, I need to be able to link it to my blog page, so that everyone can click and see the updated version, so its not really just a picture I need to upload. As I say I am very new to this sort of thing so I don't know whats available and whats not!

Hi I'm quite a novice really with internet etc. I have recently set up a blog page (hosted by Wordpress) and have managed to put in a couple of links to other sites ie You Tube (don't ask me how!). The reason for this blog is that a friend of mine is kayaking around the coast of Britain to raise money for charity (he's doing really well as well). What I would really like to add, is a link to a map of Britain, so that each day I can 'draw' where he is so that anyone looking at the blog can actually see his progress. Can this be done can anyone tell me please? Thanks Jane:confused:

Hi everyone, have never been on a site like this before so not sure where to ask my question. Its a general thing that I am hoping someone who knows about computers can help me with. :p
