Get your own ClusterMap

I've been asked to do a little tutorial on installing a ClusterMap on a blog. Well, the good news is...it is simple to install. The bad news...there is a pause in new registrations until the first part of September 2006.

To install after they start accepting new registrations, click on the above ClusterMap URL, click on 'Get One'. It has been awhile since I did it, but I think I went through a registration process (my username, password, blog address...the normal information), then I was given a code to put in my template.

On my blog, it is in the first sidebar. I installed it in the 'Page Elements' section, 'Add a Page Element'. At this point you can either choose a text or HTML/Javascript element. (I used text.) Click on 'Add to Blog'. Then click on 'Edit HTML'. Paste your code there. Put a title on if you wish. Click 'Save Changes' and you are done!
