Google Maps

Easy. Google search maps. (Ctrl + V) Paste code into blog post like you would for a picture or video. Google lets you adjust the size of the map but you can also Edit Html and change the px number values to fit. 500 width by 500 Height works well.

This is a cumulative listing of crime in Columbia for 2009. Commercial crimes are green, residential are red and vehicle thefts are blue.

Use Google maps to visually link readers to the written content. The pinpoints you see can be modified to display thumbnails of the points or a text box or both. Create color borders, plot routes and directions and destinations.
Play with it.
