  When preparing each blog, I always hit the “more options” button, and find the location on the map. When I look at the blog though, I don’t see the map anyplace. Any ideas?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Not contact info- I thought that the map would reflect the accompanying blog. I would like it to show someplace on the blog. I do a hiking blog, and it would be nice if the map showed. The contact info isn’t of any use to me in this instance.
