The design will (hopefully) be similar to the google maps used by <a href="www.geocaching.com" rel="nofollow">Geocaching.com</a> to display a map area that has pins for each location that updates as the user scrolls/zooms. Haven't done anything like that before with maps, so I'll just start out simple and add as I go. I use GeoKit is just about every project I do now. Just geocoding address/zip_codes and being able to do a radius search is invaluable. Thanks for the kind words. @captproton: I’m using GeoKit and google for the geocoding and will be using google for the maps.

What are you using for the mapping, yahoo or google? Andre over at http://earthcode.com/ created GeoKit for this kind of thing. He also started http://hotspotr.com/wifi a while back that caters to a different crowd than yours, but I suspect that much of the back end is the same. Oh, by the way, the blog's layout looks great!
