so now you know what I want. I want that to be in my Fishing Spots forum under the artifical reef map. How can I make this happen?

The more details the better! Smile Thanks !
as informed earlier , you have to upload the kmz file to the root of your forum AND embed it using embedkmlgadget
that should be a do it yourself like work !! more details are not required ..
I don't know how to embed
if you have uploaded the kmz file to your forum server, give its link so that someone can check it ...
so heres where I am at.

I have uploaded the file under admin in my root. file name is reefs.kmz

I went to google embed thing and made the url www.worldofsharkfishing.com/admin/reefs.kmz

got the code then posted it on my blog. I had NOTHING on the google map which tells me its not finding it. What am I doing wrong? what should my url be to this file? or where should I save it?
nevermind i got it... needed http://
move reefs.kmz file to forum directory and use its location for the google gadget ...

I don't understand that and dont get where I am supposed to put that? What is the true or false thing???

really need some help...
I still need help! Please...
I just tried the html in post plugin as well and still wont work... Not sure what else to do...
^ yes, html in post doesn't work for it ; you have to use pagemanager plugin and add a separate page for the map ..
Ok. Problem is I don't know how to set up a page... can someone help me with that? I should say I don't know how to write a page..
