I already support a couple and plan to replicate them all. Just working on something a bit more important at the moment.... However it pays to point out most people are lazy and or not very technical literate so tagging geotagging etc will never be mainstream for the non hard core. Re Wordpresss your dead on. It isnot just Geopress though. Wordpress has plenty of amazing third party plugins. I imagine its the result of being open source and having good software design. Pete http://localhero.biz/ Brian,

This is an initiative that other hyperlocal aggregators would be wise to adopt. Not every non technical blogger can face the learning curve required to do what I've documented above. What is fascinating to me is that bloggers can use GeoPress to do much more sophisticated mapping than most big media corporations are currently doing, eg ABC.

The more local bloggers like yourself that support GeoRSS the better for creating and publicising true local content and Geopress is a great tool. A couple of points. Firstly GeoRSS is an open standard and is not owned by Mapufacture although some of the same people are involved with both. Also I'm not sure how outside.in's supports is relevant or important? They ar just one satrtup among many and amoribund one at that. Anyway LocalHero now supports GeoRSS so if you or any readers know any new Local Bloggers around Melbourne who have added Geo RSS or plan to please let me know and I'll start indexing them!
