Since the 3.2 release of WP Geo it is possible to easily add new marker icons via a filter, either in your theme’s functions.php file or as a plugin. I would suggest that if you are creating a marker icon specifically for your theme you add it your theme’s functions.php file. However, it is possible [...]

Ben — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 23:15:40 +0000
