Map Rap is laid out pretty much like a conventional blog.
Under the blog title are the Introduction to Map Rap, a library of Bookmarks to geospatial websites, a list of key websites in Canada, and some Readings.
The middle panel has two kinds of content (so far):
- periodic notes on the development of the geospatial web, as well as the blog itself.
- links to resources, including: geospatial tools, and articles related to various issues and applications
The left panel has two columns providing links to other blogs that relate to maps and the geospatial web. Each blog is continuously updated, which makes this my favourite component of Map Rap.
On the right panel are Exhibits that present the geospatial web in different ways. Under Geolinks are direct links to useful websites related to the geospatial. Labels are helpful when searching the blog for topics like tools, issues and applications.

Map Rap Blog Flog
Ready or not, its time to open this blog to the world, or at least to my students and my social network. Given that I don't know how all the various blog functions work I may need a few pointers along the way, so feel free to comment and suggest.
I'm not sure how to involve others in its future development. One way is for readers to add comments. A second is for readers to send me stuff which I could then post. A third is to invite others to join me as coauthors of the blog. I'll figure it out as I go along.
On with the geospatial revolution!
