How to add a Cluster Map to your WordPress blog???


A cluster map helps you know the location of your blog visitors. Its just an advanced hit counter. Wordpress.com doesn’t allow external plug-ins. So, at first I was confused on how to put a cluster map in my blog. After some googling I finally did it. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Create a cluster map for your blog at ClustrMaps.
  2. Once you make a map for your blog, they’ll give you a small html code which is to be inserted in your blog.
  3. Add Text plug-in to your blog. You’ll find it in your wordpress dashboard <Appearance >> Widgets>.
  4. Paste the given html code in your Text plug-in and save it.

It could take a day for the map to be active.

The html code provided will look something like this:
