Test of MTGoogleMaps with Canadian Addresses

December 13, 2005 D. H. McKee

This test is the same as the previous one, but with a Canadian address. I’ve picked the Huether Hotel, in Waterloo (59 King Street North, Waterloo, Ontario).
Update: Awww. No dice. I’m beginning to think there’s still a problem with Geocoder… I’ll have to look into it some more.

There is some text in the Extended Entry field.

Just to let you know this is not a problem with the Geocoder.ca service, but with the design of my plugin.
I should have noted in the documentation that Canadian addresses should have a comma between each part of the address.
For example: 59 King Street North, Waterloo, Ontario should be entered as 59, King Street North, Waterloo, Ontario

Aha. Cewl. Thanks for the note. I’ll check it out and see if I can get it to work!

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.
