This is a moderated map, which means that I have to approve your addition before it takes effect. I'm doing that just so we don't get all kinds of strange people adding themselves to the map. What I need for you to do is identify yourself as a Cutie somehow, because I don't know all your screen names, and some of you are choosing to use something other than your screen name here at Cute. It would probably be easiest for all the Cuties if we used our Cute Embroidery screen names, or an abbreviation of them. If you use your real name, we could end up with 20 "Judy's", and no one will know which one we mean. You'll see from the directions how you can add a lot of information. This will be fun, hope everyone can participate! If you have any problems, just send me a PM, and I'll try to help as best I can. I've been studying this map, but am still not sure how all the features work. Hugs, Marji

Page would not open for some reason.

darn-would be fun to it laid out on a map where everyone is from

BLAST!!!! It's not working any more. :-(((

Good try. Maybe just a listing by country and state done right here in the Cute Community might work. Just a suggestion.

I can't get any farther than the platial.com page. Nothing works for me. sorry

Apparently whoever was hosting these maps closed the site down. The links don't work because it isn't there any more. I have not found another free mapping service that is easy to use. There is one, but it seems too difficult for anyone but expert computer users, and certainly too hard for those whose first language is not English. Sorry about that, if I find anything better I'll let you know. Hugs, Marji

This is such an awesome idea. I want to participate but neither of the links work for me- says page not found. Is there another way to get there?
Thank you,
Meri

Such a great idea only I cant locate the site have tried but no luck here Hugs Shazells

Dear marji,I have click on the link and it say "not found" Can you explain what to do?
Hugs Claude

Do you think it is possible to set it again ?
I'd love to see if I've some cuties close to me, expecially when I see Yvonne's photos with her Cuties sister !!

It comes up not available on this server when clicking either of the links below

TTT Cuties you need to put yourself on the map

See me waving from the green pinetree on the west coast?

I'm sorry I tried but I'm nort very good in this. did not succeed for me :(

OK !!!! I added my name, town and picture !!! :o)
it's a nice idea !!!
Thanks Marji ***

Thanks for bringing up this again- a very good idea.

But the map is so tiny, and whole germany is covered by a skull ! symbol for the SS, that is no good choice I think.
Or am I too sensible with this?
Is there a possibilitiy to zoom, when more cuties will join?

I think that you can zoom up to the street of your town

by sissibrode 15 Nov 2009

you can zoom, look in the left Eva

I put this on the top, it is so interesting

Cuties, please add your name and place ONCE ONLY, ok? It will not show up right away, because I must get the e-mail from the map, and go to the map and accept your post. Give me a chance to do that, maybe 5 or 6 hours. You are not added automatically in real time, it has to be accepted. Thanks loads! Hugs, Marji

Well if I did it right I'll be there lol

Migs, you added yourself on 2nd Avenue in New York City! Didn't think that was right, so I denied it. Can you try again? For the place name, put "migs". For the address, put your street address, city, state or province, and COUNTRY. All that info has to go in the address line, or you will end up in the ocean somewhere, hee hee hee. I erased a few of you Cuties from the oceans of the world, by the way. We'll get this yet, keep trying. Just do it again, Migs, you're not on the map yet. Hugs, Marji

Map link, it's also in the directions for how to put your place on the map. Good luck, hugs, Marji

Thanks Marji Now where do I find the map? LOL *

What a lot of fun this is. I checked it out but dont' have time to login right now. Besides, Marji I didn't see you on it and we would overlap since we're only 10 miles from each other. I'll catch up to it later.

Hugs!

Hello Marji, This world cutie map is a great idea!
I put a Marker at the place of my home, but after, I have not well undestand what to write, and I have written the name of my house instead of my name,.. Now I do not know what to do to correct that, I send a PM to you.

Well, I don't know, Mel. Since I had to make an account to make the map, and it recognizes me, I can't check. Perhaps one of the other Cuties who signed up can tell you. You got the map when you clicked the link, right? When you clicked on Add a Marker, what happened? Did it prompt you to make an account? Usually if you have to do something, a website will tell you what to do. Please let us know, ok? Thanks so much, Hugs, Marji

had to register to place my location. also asks for email to verify.

by nanabs 03 Jun 2010

web page not available. not sure what I am doing wrong

Ok, here are the directions and the link.
1. Go to the link, the map is called World Cuties
2. The first photo is the map, click on the "Add a Marker" icon, and you'll get the screen shown. In order to get your marker in the correct place, the best idea is to put an identifier you want, like "my house", or even better, your Cute screen name, because then your screen name will show up in the bubble when you put your mouse over the marker on the map. That would be easiest for all of us, but do what you think is best for you. Then put in your address in the address slot. You can use your street number if you want, it will place you exactly on the map. If you don't want it that exact, at least put your City, State (province, whatever) and Country. That will most likely put your marker at your post office in your town. Close enough. It's best NOT to click the marker onto the map yourself, it sometimes jumps to the wrong place! That's why I "x'ed" that part out on the photo. Then hit the "next" button to continue to the next screen.

Photo 2 is the next screen, where you can pick an icon to represent you. Pick any one you like, then go down and hit "next" again to go on to the third screen.

Photo 3 is the third screen, where you can change the icon if you picked one you don't like, you can add your website if you have one, give a description of your city, your house, your sewing machine, whatever you want. You can also add tags, it might be a good idea to add your Cute screen name as a tag. That way if one of us wants to find where you live, we can search by your screen name tag & find you. If you want to be found, that is, hee hee hee.

When you finish all the screens, hit 'finish' or 'next' or whatever that last button is, and your marker will be submitted. You won't see it right away, so don't do it again!! This is a moderated map, so I'll get an e-mail with your marker request, then I'll approve it and it will show up. I may not do it right away, so do please have patience. That's why I need you to identify yourself somehow as a member of Cute. If I can't identify someone, I will deny the request. Trying to make sure this map is ONLY for Cuties to keep us all safe and not get any 'advertising' on the map.

Once your marker is on the map, if you have made a mistake, YOU are the only one who can fix it. Once I have approved it, I can't do anything with it. You can go to your information, and there is an icon where you can delete the whole thing and start over. There's no way to 'edit' anything, you have to delete it and do it again correctly if you made a mistake.

I sure hope I covered all the bases here & y'all have fun with this! There is a place on Platial for 'help', it's down at the bottom of the screen. There's a section of FAQ's there, pretty easy to go thru if you're having trouble. If all else fails, ask me in a PM. I suspect if you have to do that, we're all in trouble, because I've told you all I know here in this post! Hee hee hee, we'll work it out somehow.

Also note that this post is tagged 'cuteembroidery', 'map', 'world-cuties' and 'tutorial' so you can find it again easily with any of those searches in the search box.

Go to it, Cuties, and have fun!! And thank you, Veronika, for thinking this is a good idea!

Big hugs, Marji

Oh,duh, just to clarify something: when I said the part about "no advertising" on the map, I did NOT mean Cuties who have digitizing or other businesses and websites. That's wonderful, I encourage you to put that information in! I just don't want 'outsiders' who are selling stuff and not contributers to the community or projects or designs to be cluttering up our map. I hope you don't mind this decision, but I felt there's enough places for strangers to advertise to us without putting them on the map. Hugs, Marji

I tried Marji don't know if I did it right or not. U know me & computers. I only put the little town Gallant,
Al. No street address. We only have a P>O> & a general store here. Lillian
