I am really new to this web site building process. I installed the map plug in and then went to google to get the API key. I was given the API key. How am I to use it? How do I get it to my web site? HELP!!!! |

Are you coming from the WEC starter package or did you start with something different. This should be mostly ready to go out of the box except for the API key from Google. You'll also want to make sure that you've used "mydomain.org" instead of "www.mydomain.org" when you get the key (substituting for your actual site name, of course). You may want to peruse: http://webempoweredchurch.org/support/classes/ - there are a lot of helpful instructions there on getting started and working with extensions. -Peter Schott |
