Is a great tool made by @blueorgy and @martibis that allows you to pin your posts to a specific location or browse the world map where ideally every place on the map is a Steemit post. This contest is all about making it more popular, encouraging more people to contribute their posts to the map.

In my small vocabulary of English words there aren't many that could describe quite how amazing your blogs are :) With pictures looking like something you would see in a National Geographic magazine and such extensive write-up your blogs are a wonderful addition to the map. Really glad to have amazing bloggers like you in the challenge. Keep up the good work, it's highly appreciated!
