Blogger Gets Geotagging (GeoRSS Support)

Available through http://draft.blogger.com/

"With geotagging, you can add a location to your each of your blog posts. Just as time stamps help readers find posts from a certain date or time, geotags give your readers a way to browse posts near a specific location"

GeoRSS Support included in each post’s location in your blog’s RSS and Atom feeds using GeoRSS, a standard for geotagging. This means that feed readers, map applications and search engines can associate your posts with their locations.

Geotagging has a few known issues. We'll be addressing them shortly, but here are some suggested workarounds for the near-term:

The location editor is hidden behind the text field in the Edit HTML tab. Please switch to the Compose tab to view and edit locations.
A geotag cannot be removed from a post once it has been saved. If you need to remove a geotag, please copy your post content into a new post and delete the geotagged post.
Update 2:33pm: If you have a customized template and you don't see the "Location:" byline, you may need to reset your blog's widget template. Do this by going to the Layout > Edit HTML tab in your dashboard, and then clicking Revert widget templates to default below the main text field.
Update 2:33 pm: Some users are having issues with the blog post map gadget. Brian is investigating.
