 * Hi.
    I’m trying to load a KML file on localhost but no map is displayed. Any 
   suggestion?

 * Kml files need to be hosted somewhere on the Internet where Google can see them.
   Even Dropbox will do.

 * Thank you for the prompt response.
    I did as you had suggested and still not 
   show anything on the map. 🙁

 * Can you post your shortcode here please? Copy it from your page and paste it 
   here, then select it and click the `code` button so that it doesn’t get messed
   up.
 * I’ll look at it later (probably much later); am heading out for the day now.

 * Hi Ross,
    Once again thank you for your invaluable help. This is code:
 * `[flexiblemap src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/an3vwcm1ps8xcxc/Abi4life_Hotels_Mallorca.
   kml?dl=0" width="100%" height="400px" zoom="17"]`
 * This is result:

 * Cheers,
    Marcio

 * G’day Marcio,
 * You’ve loaded the map into a private folder, not the Public folder, so DropBox
   has given you a link that forces the browser to load a DropBox page where you
   can download the file.
 * You can ask DropBox to directly serve the file by changing the `?dl=0` bit to`?
   dl=1`, like this:
 * `[flexiblemap src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/an3vwcm1ps8xcxc/Abi4life_Hotels_Mallorca.
   kml?dl=1" width="100%" height="400px" zoom="17"]`
 * cheers,
    Ross
