Now you can easily embed your Google MyMaps into your blog or website using this handy utility called MyMaps + (Plus).
Users are required to register for a free acount before they start. Create your MyMap using Google maps (you'll need a Google account to accomplish this). Then use the MyMaps Plus create form to generate the required code. One thing that may be tricky is coming up with your Googlemap API code (I registered for mine ages ago and can't seem top locate it!). Add a title, description, keywords, related weblinks, KLM file, and provide your maps API key. Once completed you'll be able to grab the code needed so you can embed your MyMap into your blog or website. What's way cool is the ability to change the default placemarker... SWEET!
