Still Another MTGoogleMaps Test

This time I’m using v2.0. I’ve setup the main page template to put a static Google Map into the page if something’s placed in the Extended Entry Field.
Update: OK, that worked fine. Kudos to Nick for putting out the little fixes. This map was generated with the following code:
<MTEntryIfExtended>
  <MTGoogleMaps address=”123 Main St. New York, NY 10001″ info=”About this address” width=”400px” height=”300px” zoom=”4″></MTGoogleMaps>
  <p class=”entry-more-link”>
  <a href=”<$MTEntryPermalink$>#more”>Continue reading “<$MTEntryTitle$>” »</a>
  </p>
</MTEntryIfExtended>

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
