: Something else - you could make the Friends Hit Map easier to include - just have some kind of HitMap variable to place wherever you want the map to go instead of requiring the brute-force View Source-copy-and-paste-several-lines.

Your Bills / All Hits by State
Get a hit map (button)

After the map image is displayed
Right click on image / Properties
Select Address URL (makes sure you move down and select all of it, even that which is not initially displayed)
Copy and paste that URL into your profile.

Now, when you get a hit in a new state, just re-run the map, and the image will automatically get updated.

Ex.
http://www.wheresgeorge.net/hitmaps/hit_map_1b9232677215b9457adff6251ccc6aef.png?md=605ac13117bae148bd010f610833baad

I am aware you know all the steps…I inserted all the steps here, in case someone else read this post, and was not aware.
However, I wish there were a variable which could display "Number of Hits / State Color" data and then I could paste that under the map image. When they Cutoff values change, I have to manually insert them in the profile
Hank, how are the default values calculated? I wish they would stay the same as I had last left them.

Good Luck & Happy Georgering!

: : Can you make it blank, and just give us those "set" numbers as some kind of variable?

: : So I can design my own page, but still have the ability to add in the statistics?

: : That would be cool...

: Or extend it - maybe have another 50 variables - HitsInAz, HitsInNY, HitsInMD, for each state - each variable would simply be updated each time you ran a Hits By State Report. Great for us numbers freaks. Of course, I know nothing as far as how much work it would take to make all those variables, sooo...
: Oh, and keep the way they are now as an option in User Prefrences, in case someone just wants a basic profile and doesn't want to bother typing in stat variables (geez, aren't I *always* suggesting making a list of options?).
