Here's how to include a map for e.g. Nort y Sur

1. Go to www.Fuerteventura-Maps.com - (There's a permanent link 2nd top of the column on the left)

2. Choose the appropriate location from the top menu - e.g. in this case - Puerto del Rosario

3. Fiddle with the map to locate your spot roughly centred.

4. Click the link in the left column "Share your Location" then "Drop Marker at centre"

5. Drag the marker to the exact spot, click on its name and change it from "Drag, Name - Copy Link" to e.g. "Nort y Sur"

6. From the left column, choose the link under the headline "Embed Map iFrame in Fuerteventura-Forum.com posts"

7. Copy that and paste it in your post

Mumford and Sons - Little Lion Man

Adding videos is easy - no need to wrap the link in code - just paste the link to the YouTube page that it is on.
