Why blog posts on the map?

There are so many reasons why would a blogpost be related to a specific place. Perhaps you’re writing about places you’ve visited or areas that are important for your business.

• Do you publish company news related to a certain local branch?
• Are you selling all-natural products from nearby organic farms?

When you define the location for each blog post, you’ll be able to show them on the map. Display all blog posts or choose only posts from some location or category. See example on demo Photographer CitadelaWP Layout Pack presentation.
