Update

We need to add Germany and Tanzania. Thanks! (Hardvice, maybe you could teach me how so I don't have to bug you everytime we have a new location) :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:43, 10 January 2007 (EST)

  • It's a bit of a pain, but here it is in a nutshell:
    1. Pull up the background image, Image:locationmap.jpg and save it.
    2. Fire up your favourite image editing software.
    3. Curse your inability to remember even basic geography, despite having aced a heinously difficult geography class in tenth grade.
    4. Locate the location on Google maps; feel like an idiot for forgetting where it is.
    5. Add an arrow pointing to the location and away from other text labels.
    6. Save and reupload the image.
    7. Edit Template:Locationmap; copy a row from another location for your new location.
    8. Update the new row with the proper link and image.
    9. Fiddle with the values for left and top until the link is where you want it. Use "Show Preview" so others watching Recent Changes don't form an angry mob outside your house.
    10. Save changes.--Hardvice (talk) 03:01, 10 January 2007 (EST)
    • Great, thanks. I'll get on it after work today (unless somebody else wants to take a crack at it?) - I'm assuming it'll be pretty easy to figure out the thickness of the arrow. Thanks! - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:31, 10 January 2007 (EST)
