It’s exciting to see GeoRSS<\/a> published as an official 1.0 specification<\/a> — congratulations to the GeoRSS team in putting out this useful RSS<\/a> add-on spec.<\/p>\n

So I’ve put together a hack of allowing for WordPress<\/a> users to geocode their posts, as well as publish them as GeoRSS. This work is based on the original GeoPress<\/a> work. The plugin also allows for setting what encoding of GeoRSS you want to publish (simple, gml, or w3cgeo). It’s very simple (uses existing custom fields to define x\/y tags, and existing WordPress hooks to extend to GeoRSS). The main blog post page also now adds a neat little WMS-based map.<\/p>\n

Other work: Ed Parsons<\/a> also developed his own plugin<\/a>. The GeoRSS folks also have an implementation<\/a>. You can download my GeoRSS WordPress plugin hack<\/a> and give it a go if you wish, however I’d suggest going with GeoPress, which is what I’ll be moving towards (as soon as I get whip up a script to port my coordinates into GeoPress).<\/p>\n\n\n
