So I have been tracking a social media piece I did recently; I get emailed each time someone hits my web page I created so I can see where they are coming from, and this one above caught my eye.

1. In Excel ‘Save As’ the spreadsheet to a CSV first.

Make sure the csv columns are named the same as what you have in the database table.

I found this post on this topic very useful.

I have a project where I would like to display top 20 places to rent an apartment in the United States on a map of the US.

But instead of the normal Google map I would like to make it look like a Google Analytics Map above.

I am familiar with the API V3 on where to place the markers, but I am not familiar with Overlays (which I think is what is needed for the project).

Would I create an image of the USA from Analytics and then overlay it over the Google Map – is that the right approach?

Note to myself, that this IP address is suspect to scammers that use proxies.

I did a blacklist test on the IP and sure enough spamhaus.org had it on their balcklist.

1. Login to the CT control center
2. Set permissions at the root since the blog is at the root – make sure it is yellow. Click on WRITE, DELETE, APPLY TO SUBFOLDERS
3. Wait about 3 minutes to let it propagate before hitting update
4. Not sure if you have to deactivate plugins or not
5. Update WordPress and the plugins
6. Revert the setting to the root after the the blog update is complete
7. Reapply the uploads directory permissions
8. Sometimes the plugins like Analytics looses their settings so you have to put them back in again.
