Let's see...hey...it gets there. Bit different, but that's the right idea. The bare bones GPS coordinates out of that long link are 48.410060,-123.364940 And stuffed into that snippet in my first reply, it's like this... (for Google Earth) http://maps.google.com/maps?q=48.410060,-123.364940&output=kml And like this... (for Google Maps) http://maps.google.com/maps?q=48.410060,-123.364940 Google Earth Beacon Hill and Google Maps Beacon Hill Now, if this works right, I embedded the Google Maps code into this image >> CLICK IMAGE TO TRY If that works, here's the code, but I put an "X" to substitute for every "" in the code so it displays...so "XX" is where two tags meet ">Xa href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=48.410060,-123.364940"XXimg src="http://www.beaconhillpark.com/images/walktour25.jpg"XX/aX And an attempt at Google Earth...

Sorry, but I am a school teacher, and I think it is a violation to my right of privacy. My students have told me about where I live, what I drive, and many details about my privacy that is none of their business. I have been hoping that the courts will make this illegal. If a group of kids can use this and find out all about your home, what can the thieves do? Guess where the kids put their information --- on Facebook, of course. By the way they don't walk, they are in little cars, and they update their information regularly, and very quickly. The walkers pretend to survey your property, but they are really getting as much information as they can from the ground, then from the air. They walk through the backs of the houses, and drive the fronts. Sorry to be odd man out, but now I can anticipate about 160 kids running through my garden at Halloween. Sammy

Much of the search results you see in the Googles and Yahoo's, MSN, etc. comes from the same edited data in the open directory project ... DMOZ.org . Occasionally I'll search the same things in google that I might search in Yahoo, which is my default/preferred search .. and will have a very near identical first page of results returned. I haven't tried with bing but I assume ... same deal, except for the more simple/cleaner bing pages right now.

OK, most everybody probably knows this about Photobucket, where a lot of us store our pics to post, but this is a reminder to all. Go to your PB home page. On the Blue Banner that leads over to your name; move your cursor over the "Home" button;on the banner that drops down below, click on "Stats". This will show you just how many views each of your posted pics have had in a day, a week and a month. Kind of eye-opening! For example, on August 4th, the day after I started this thread, there were 155 views of the photo I posted of my mantel. That's just one day for that one pic. There were more both before and after that. You all should check your own to see for yourselves. Now, I was about to tell you to check your privacy settings over on PB, but the drop-down button for it only appears infrequently, which has me a bit concerned. Just a few minutes ago, I could go to my PB Home page. Go to the blue banner; hover your cursor over the Home button; on the drop down banner below it, there sometimes is a Privacy button. You click on that and then click on Privacy & Emails Settings; click on Privacy Settings/Content Privacy. There . . . if you can get there (they don't make it easy), check the box "when I upload, permanently remove information about where my photos were taken". Also there, uncheck if it's checked, the box that says, "allow others to copy my photos and videos". That is, if you want to keep you photos a bit more private. If you do get there, I'd strongly suggest reading all your options and making decisions then and there. You may not be able to get back to your privacy site for a while. Just a heads-up. Lynn
