Javascript blog CMS : blogger
To build any webpage on internet there are three most important languages viz. HTML, JavaScript and CSS. JavaScript is one of the most commonly used client-side programming language that may communicate asynchronously (i.e. independently of other processes) to web browser.
If you are using BlogSpot.com blogger blog then you have lots of option to include JavaScript codes. It will depends on where you want to render it and for which purpose you are using that JavaScript files or codes.
See this present "ex-ample" blog.

upload , embed pdf, word excel in bogger blogspot

Most of bloggers using Google's free blogger platform. Even though it has more features you cannot upload pdf, doc, xls files directly on blogger. So before we used third party websites to embed these files. But now you no need to go to thirt party websites you can embed documents, spreadsheets, PDF files using Google Drive. Google is a Google's recent released cloud storage service it has more useful features . Here below the tutorial to how to embed doc,xls,pdf files on Google Drive.
- Open drive.google.com and login to your account then click the upload button and choose your files need to embed.
- After upload completed click on the uploaded file link. It opens in new tab
- Then go to File - Embed (this PDF file) in menu bar.
- After you hit the Embed option the embed coding will shows just copy that coding and paste it on Edit HTML mode in blogger post editor section.
- Then as usual hit the publish Post button your embed files shows in blog posts.
I think this is the very easy way to show these type of files
on blogger posts. If you have other ideas please share it on comment
section.

The top 10 ways to embed Google Earth content (trails, footpaths, interactive guide to fishing, walking, biking) on your site blog (special mention to blogger) with or without earth plugin and with/without earth API
A) without coding (no javascript)
3 categories of methods: without the need of plugin install (Google Earth plugin, for browsers) and without the google earth API or with this API (in this case, the client must install the Google Earth plugin)
B) with coding (javascript)
-----------------------------------------------
-----intro (not necessary if you just want a one-click service to directly embed in your site)
To load the Google Earth Plugin in your web page, you need to:
A) without coding (no javascript)
B) with coding (javascript)
http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?exp=earth#hello,_earth
3 categories of methods: without the need of plugin install (Google Earth plugin, for browsers) and without the google earth API or with this API (in this case, the client must install the Google Earth plugin)
A-a) without the need of Google Earth plugin
A-b) without the google earth API
A-c) with the google earth API
B) with coding (javascript)
-----------------------------------------------
-----intro (not necessary if you just want a one-click service to directly embed in your site)
The Google Earth plug-in allows you to navigate and explore geographic data on a 3D globe using a web browser: http://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/plugin.html
If you want to embed the Google Earth plug-in on your website, visit the Google Earth API site to learn more: http://code.google.com/apis/earth/
Check out the recently revamped (2011) Earth API Developer's Guide: http://code.google.com/apis/earth/documentation/
This plugin and this API may work correctly on all browsers (Internet Explorer 7.0+, mac and PC: Firefox 3.0+; Google Chrome 5.0+; Safari 3.1+, etc...) that support NPAPI with npruntime extensions (https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Gecko_Plugin_API_Reference:Scripting_plugins).
Plugins (or plug-ins) are shared libraries that users can install to display content that the application itself can't display natively. For example, Adobe Reader plugin (or Google earth plugin) lets the user open PDF files directly inside the browser. Plugins are written using NPAPI, the cross-browser API for plugins: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Plugins
To install the Google Earth Plugin, browse to any page in which the plugin is included or at http://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/plugin.html (at this URL, you can see the version of your plugin).
This plugin and this API offer many services, see these 2 "ex-amples" (trail):
(google maps and google earth and a path from one start address and one end address)
http://www.themountainpulse.com/trail-maps-plus/grand-teton-national-park/ (The Mountain Pulse is an online resource for Jackson Hole’s outdoor community: mountain biking, hiking, pathways cycling, fishing, kayaking, lodging and more)
To load the Google Earth Plugin in your web page, you need to:
- Load the Google Earth API.
- Create a DIV element to hold the plugin.
- Create functions to initialize the plugin.
- Call the initialization functions once the page has loaded.
A) without coding (no javascript)
A-a) without the need of Google Earth plugin
A-b) without the google earth API
A-c) with the google earth API
B) with coding (javascript)

SVG, Scalable Images, not JPG, GIF or PNG in Blogger blogspot
Questions about a recent post containing a couple of flow charts made me regret the fact that
Blogger does not support SVG graphics by direct insertion :
You may upload multiple files at once but you can only use JPG, GIF, or PNG files.
Although I made the charts using the excellent TiKZ LaTeX package (which produces vector output in the form of a PDF file), I had to convert the PDF output to PNG for Blogger, and the images are a tad fuzzy (and do not scale well when zoomed), which may have led to some confusion. So I was on a mission today to find a workaround.
The first thing I discovered that SVG is not nirvana. I generated the images as separate PDF files from the TiKZ source. (Hint to people doing this: use the LaTeX standalone document class and the output file will automatically be cropped to the smallest rectangle containing the image.) I then used ImageMagick to convert the PDF files to SVG files ... which blew them up from around 54 KB to about 8+ MB. Each. Oops!
I tried a tool I found to convert the SVG files to "canvas" files, which got me another 5x or so increase in size. So back to PDF files.
Blogger does not consider PDFs to be images, to the plan now is to use a PNG file as the image and link it to the corresponding PDF, allowing readers to click on the image and at least get a scalable version in a new window or tab.
Blogger does not allow you to upload arbitrary files, only images in formats it recognizes (which are actually stored in Picasa, another Google product/Web-service). I thought about putting the PDFs on a personal server somewhere, but I worry about moving things (including them) to a new server at some future date and not remembering to update the links. Enter Google Documents. I just have to upload the PDFs to Google Docs, make them public, grab the URLs and set the links on the PNGs (which by default point to the PNG files in Picasa) to point to the PDFs in Google Docs instead.

blogger, google maps, geoblogs: a "gadget" that maps your posts; BlurbBits
Right now users of Blogger can geotag their posts.
We need a gadget that maps our posts.
Here a solution without the "add location" function.
See http://svbillabong.blogspot.com for a dynamic geoblog map example, interactive maps are also available through menu selection at the top.
http://blurbbits.blogspot.com
I have not developed a standard XML gadget YET and you've been copied on the many reasons that I think that generating a blog based interactive sidebar map gadget is a REALLY bad idea. My mapping
solutions can be seen in the blog link mentioned above (http://svbillabong.blogspot.com).. both interactive blog navigation maps (could be a sidebar gadget link) and the geoblog dynamic maps (both sidebar "Geoblogs on this page" gadget maps and popup versions).
----------
BlurbBits (an introduction)
Sharing your travel adventures can be a time consuming experience. Writing updates, journals, editing/organizing and selecting photos/videos, adding captions, mapping locations, tracking your travels and then formatting them all for a website, blog or email can sometimes become overwhelming. We've been Sailing for 5 years and have over 25,000 photos, 30,000 miles of GPS tracks, blogs, websites and videos, so we understand the need/importance of easy to use methods for sharing your travel adventures.
BlurbBits is a FREE set of utilities designed to help ease the entire process, while providing easy to share viewing/mapping options even while you are disconnected from the internet (95% of our Sailing Blog posts were emailed). We are trying to revolutionize self published Travel Blogs, Sailing Blogs, and Photo blogs by using existing best in class functionality (Blogger, Google Maps, Picasa, Flickr, YouTube etc).
Spend your time sharing the moments, not formatting them.
http://blurbbits.blogspot.com/2009/01/blogger-travel-blogs.html
---------
BlurbBits can be added to a website, blog post or sidebar and emailed or linked into existing sites and social networks to optimize your sharing options.
To see BlurbBits in action visit svbillabong.blogspot.com. To learn more check outBlurbBits basics, our getting started overview or if you are already familiar with Blogger, the geoblogging process, if you can send an email.. you can blog and map!! Update: the easiest way to get started with Blogger is to add the Dynamic GeoBlog gadget and addLat/lng text to the Blog posts you want to map, we'll take care of the rest. Check out our utilties and other examples.
If you use Blogger you may already know about the Mail-To-Blogger interface. We write 95% of our blogs this way. We use a lat/lng string to define our location and can even send a small (250x250) photo if the email utility supports attachments (this gives people an update, a location map and optional photo).

Change the default width of Blogger posts
The visualizations from Google Fusion Tables are wider than the default width of Blogger. To prevent Blogger from cutting them off on the right, change the default width of Blogger posts.
- Go into the "Layout" tab
- Click "Edit HTML"
- Download a copy of your current template just for back-up.
- Find the editable text box.
- Scroll through the content until you see "Outer Wrapper"
- Under "#outer-wrapper" change "width: 660px" to "width: 1000px"
- Under "#main-wrapper" change "width: 410px" to "width: 750px"
- Tip: if the numbers aren't precisely 660px and 410px to start with, don't worry.
- Click "Save Template" and view your blog post again.

List of popular file formats and filter encoding for Map mashups and Geographic information systems; converters of waypoints, tracks, routes
Some popular file formats:
Latitude and longitude are expressed in decimal degrees using the WGS 84 datum. Elevation is recorded in meters. Dates and times are not local time, but instead are Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) using ISO 8601 format.
Find your references in any number of formats:
http://spatialreference.org/
http://spatialreference.org/ref/ it's a listing of spatial references (EPSG) and an interface to search for spatial references. EPSG codes are numeric codes associated with coordinate system definitions. For instance, EPSG:4326 is geographic WGS84.
Projections (a mathematical transformation of the surface of a sphere (3D) onto a 2D plane) are ordered roughly chronologically by type: http://www.radicalcartography.net/?projectionref
Spherical Mercator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection) is used to describe the PROJECTION used by many commercial API providers.
Proj4 is a library for projecting map data (used by MapServer, GDAL and a multitude of other Open Source GIS libraries): http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/
for all standards: http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards
APR – ESRI ArcView 3.3 and earlier project file
MXD – ESRI ArcGIS project file, 8.0 and higher

http://support.esri.com/en/downloads/samples-and-utilities/view/productid/78/metaid/1682
SHP – ESRI shapefile
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapefile
Shapefiles spatially describe geometries: points, polylines, and polygons and associated attribute information. A shapefile is a digital vector storage format. It was introduced with ArcView GIS version 2 in the beginning of the 1990s.
DEM – USGS DEM file format:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USGS_DEM
Sources for USGS DEMs:
http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/data/cded/index.html Review (in english and french; download and view) a detailed description of the Canadian Digital Elevation Data. Product specifications, metadata and other supporting documentation are also available.

E00 – ARC/INFO interchange file format
http://freegeographytools.com/category/e00
GeoTIFF – Geographically located raster data
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoTIFF
GeoTIFF is a public domain metadata standard which allows georeferencing information to be embedded within a TIFF file (6.0). http://trac.osgeo.org/geotiff/
World TIFF – Geographically located raster data: text file giving corner coordinate, raster cells per unit, and rotation
TAB – MapInfo Table file format
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapInfo_TAB_format
It's a geospatial vector data format.
http://mitab.maptools.org/
DTED – Digital Terrain Elevation Data
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTED
It's a standard of digital datasets which consists of a matrix of terrain elevation values. This standard was originally developed in the 1970s to support aircraft radar simulation.
http://www.fas.org/irp/program/core/dted.htm
-----------------
-geoJSON
The GeoJSON format specification was finalized in June 2008.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoJSON
http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html
GeoJSON is a geospatial data interchange format based on JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).
In fact, every GeoJSON data structure is also a JSON object, and thus JSON tools can also be used for processing GeoJSON data.
http://www.geowebguru.com/articles/97-technical-overview-geojson
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), and the terms object, name, value, array, and number, are defined in IETF RTC 4627, at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON
JSON is simply a mixture of JavaScript object and array literals without variable definitions.
JSON, is a text-based open standard designed for human-readable data interchange. It is derived from the JavaScript scripting language for representing simple data structures and associative arrays, called objects. Despite its relationship to JavaScript, it is language-independent, with parsers available for most languages.The JSON format is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application (serving as an alternative to XML; it is generally more compact than XML).
Spatial data format types supported in GeoJSON include points, polygons, multipolygons, features, geometry collections, and bounding boxes, which are stored along with feature information and attributes. The geometries and their properties will have a parent object.
GeoJSON also allows specifying a geographic coordinate system, using the OGC crs (coordinate reference system) property (preferred) or with an EPSG code. If a crs is not defined, GeoJSON will use the WGS84 geoid by default.
GeoJSON is supported by numerous mapping and GIS software packages. Google maps, google maps api...use JSON
-geoRSS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoRSS
http://www.georss.org/Main_Page
As RSS and Atom become more prevalent as a way to publish and share information, it becomes increasingly important that location is described in an interoperable manner so that applications can request, aggregate, share and map geographically tagged feeds.
There are currently two encodings of GeoRSS, Simple and GML (GeoRSS Geography Markup Language (GML)):
GeoRSS-Simple is meant as a very lightweight format that developers and users can quickly add to their existing feeds. It supports basic geometries (point, line, box, polygon) and covers the typical use cases when encoding locations.
GeoRSS GML is a formal GML Application Profile, and supports a greater range of features, notably coordinate reference systems other than WGS-84 latitude/longitude.
Both formats are designed for use with Atom 1.0, RSS 2.0 and RSS 1.0.
Blogger and geoRSS: http://bloggerindraft.blogspot.com/2008/12/new-feature-geotagging.html
-XML: SVG - Scalable Vector Graphics is an XML format. I think that this file format must be in this GIS list because may map servers use this format and all modern browsers use this format.
http://www.mccurley.org/svg/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:USA_Oregon_location_map.svg
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:SVG_maps
better SVG graphics rendering engine: http://antigrain.com/svg/index.html
(MapServer 5.0+ can use this engine; it supports sub-pixel anti-aliasing, as well as many more features).
look also the "svg" category of this blog ;)
-XML-based interchange format: GPX or GPS eXchange Format
GPX – XML-based interchange format
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_eXchange_Format
It describes waypoints, tracks, and routes.
A collection of points (with no sequential relationship) is deemed a collection of individual waypoints.
An ordered collection of points may be expressed as a track or a route. Tracks are a record of where a person has been (with timestamp (because someone is recording where and when they were there)) and routes are suggestions about where you might go in the future...
View the official site: http://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp
-XML-based interchange format: KML
KML – Keyhole Markup Language, XML-based
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyhole_Markup_Language
The KML file specifies a set of features (place marks, altitude, images, 3D models, polygons, textual descriptions, camera view...). Each place always has a longitude and a latitude.
KML files are distributed in KMZ files, which are zipped files with a .kmz extension.
http://schemas.opengis.net/kml/2.2.0/
reference: http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kmlreference.html
Developer's Guide: http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/topicsinkml.html
http://kml-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/interactive/index.html
Google Maps supports the following KML elements (that is, KML queries in the Search box and GGeoXml objects in the Maps API):
- Placemarks
- Icons
- Folders
- Descriptive HTML
- Entity replacement via
and - KMZ (compressed KML, including attached images)
- Polylines and polygons
- Styles for polylines and polygons, including color, fill, and opacity
- Network links to import data dynamically
- Ground overlays and screen overlays
This list does not apply to Google Earth's export to Google Maps, My Maps import, or My Maps export to Google Earth.
differences between maps and earth for KML: http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kmlelementsinmaps.html
Maximum uncompressed KML file size=10MB.
Maximum number of Network Links=10.
convert GIS data to KML files
You can import GIS Data and file (ESRI Shape, MapInfo .tab data; GeoTIFF, or other raster dataset) into Google Earth Pro so that it can be used as part of your Google Earth visualizations: http://earth.google.com/outreach/tutorial_importgis.html. If you have Google Earth Pro, you can import many kinds of GIS data directly using the methods described in this tutorial. If you are using the free version of Google Earth, there are other tools for converting GIS data to KML.
ESRI ArcGIS and MapInfo, have tools to export GIS data into KML format (for use in Google Earth).
ogr2gui (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ogr2gui/): a free utility that converts many formats, including shapefiles to KML.
shp2kml (http://www.zonums.com/shp2kml.html): a free utility that converts shapefiles to KML.
MapWindow GIS has Shape2Earth (http://shape2earth.com/default.aspx), a tool for converting GIS data to KML.
ESRI ArcGIS contains tools in the ArcToolbox (Conversion Tools > To KML) for converting vector and raster GIS data to KML.
Arc2Earth (http://www.arc2earth.com/) is an extension for ArcGIS that converts GIS data to KML. The Arc2Earth Community Edition (http://www.arc2earth.com/communityedition/) is a free tool that has lower limits than the full version.
MapInfo Professional has a MapInfo Professional Google Earth Link Utility: http://mapinfo-to-google-earth-tm-export-utilit.software.informer.com/
KML and Spreadsheet Mapper
How to enter data in an on-line spreadsheet to generate a set of placemarks in Google Earth and Maps. Google Docs' web-based, collaborative editing allows your team members to simultaneously enter data and instantly publish updates:

http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~agrawal/788-au10/Papers/Oct28/google-fusion-socc10.pdf
Fusion Tables supports a number of data formats:
Comma-separated files (.csv) - Up to 100 MB
Microsoft Excel files (.xls, .xlsx) - Up to 1 MB
OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods) - Up to 1 MB
Keyhole Markup Language (.kml) - Up to 100 MB
Data already in a Google Spreadsheet
If you have datasets in Excel or Open Office Spreadsheets that are larger than 1MB, save them as CSV files to take advantage of the larger 100MB limit!
Manage your Data with Open Data Kit Aggregate:
http://earth.google.com/outreach/tutorial_odk_aggregate.html
Open Data Kit (ODK) is a suite of tools that allows data collection using mobile devices and data submission to an online server, even without an Internet connection or mobile carrier service at the time of data collection. Once you've collected data in the field with ODK Collect, you can upload and manage your data using ODK Aggregate. ODK Aggregate is the intermediary server storage platform that accepts the data and can send it on to external applications, if desired. ODK Aggregate also allows you to download your datasets in aggregated formats, such as one .csv file. ODK Aggregate allows you to use Google's AppEngine hosting platform (see many post of this blog) for managing your collected data online.

------GDAL
GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) is a multi-format raster reading and writing library (it is used as the primary mechanism for reading raster data in MapServer).
It provides a powerful set of libraries for working with vector data:

------GPSBabel
GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes between popular GPS receivers and mapping programs. It also has powerful manipulation tools for such data.
It contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a convenient for server-side processing or as the backend for other tools. It does not convert, transfer, send, or manipulate maps. It processes data that may placed on a map, such as waypoints, tracks, and routes...
GPSBabel runs on Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, and Vista plus POSIX OSes such as Linux, UnixWare, OpenServer, Solaris, FreeBSD, and OSX.
