Okay so I couldn’t resist inserting my maps. But to make them look like they belonged on this weblog, I had to do a few things first:

• Google Maps markup provides iframe tag, which is not recognized in XHTML Strict. So I had to downgrade my DTD definition to XHTML 1.0 Transitional—no regrets, considering the richness Maps add to my posts.
• Google Maps markup does not validate by default. So I had to change the frameborder="no" to frameborder="0".
• The default size of 425:350 is neither attractive, nor fits my layout in an elegant way.¹ So I changed it to 500:309.

Here are a few posts that carry my maps well:

1. Antwerpen and Brugge (filed under Trips).
2. Leiderdorp sailing (filed under Holland).
3. Kinderdijk (filed under Holland).
4. Ghent (filed under Trips).

Now that this is working, look forward to more embedding more from our trips and places visited.
