Why would you want to enter your location coordinates?

We often talk about meta space in the Internet, but sometimes it's interesting to know who is geographically nearby. GeoURL will show you other sites that have their location details nearby to yours.

What about privacy/security?

Obviously if this is a concern to you, do not put the exact coordinates of your house! Just pick some random location nearby.

How do you find your latitude and longitude?

The easiest way is to locate yourself on Multimap. Look under "Map Information" for Lat/Lng and use the decimal format as shown in brackets. If you are in the Southern hemisphere your latitude will be a negative number. If you are West of London your longitude will be a negative number.

How can you tell if it worked?

View your blog's source code and look for "GeoURL Plugin". The meta tags should appear near the top of the page.

Why did you write this?

Because i found myself hardcoding my location into every theme that i used. I thought there must be a better way. I searched for a plugin and didn't find one, so i decided to write one.
