I finally spent some time figuring out the map resource I'll use. It seems so perfect for my site that I almost feel guilty for having it. There is even a dog (coyote) paw option as the location marker.
I've entered three locations so far: The Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Pond and the address of David Sherris, the JP resident whose dog was killed by a coyote in 2005.
The map is a Google map, although the mapping resource is not run by Google. I'll be able to easily embed the map in my site within its own window. I'm not sure at this point if I will create individual pages for each locale as I originally had planned. That depends on how much information I end up with on each sighting. At the very least, I'll learn how to create a drop-down menu from my nav bar so I have the option for the extra pages.
