			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Download the UK Postcode Mapper Firefox extension here:</p>
<p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10413">UK Postcode Mapper</a></p>
<p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10413"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-165" title="postcode_window" src="http://blog.sitedaniel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/postcode_window.png" alt="postcode_window" width="235" height="183" /><br />
</a></p>
<p>This is my first Firefox Extension. It searches the current page you are browsing for any UK Postcode. It then shows you a list of all postcodes on a small popup window. Then you just click on the postcode you would like to see on a map and (by default) a new tab opens with the postcode mapped in Google Maps. You can change the settings to open in a new window and also change the default map provider from Google to MultiMap or StreetMap.<br />
I built this extension to learn how Firefox Extensions work and also to make my life easier as I always seem to be cutting and pasting postcodes into Google Maps to see where places are in London. After installing this you can see any UK postcode on a map in only 2 clicks! (That is saving a copy + open new window + type in maps.google.co.uk + paste + an enter!)</p>
<p>Here you can change the default settings</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-158" title="settings_window" src="http://blog.sitedaniel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/settings_window.png" alt="" width="235" height="214" /></p>
<p>I'd recommend adding a button to your Toolbar. This can be done by right-clicking on your toolbar and selecting 'Customise...'. Then you can drag and drop the 'Map postcodes' button.</p>
<p>This extension can also be accessed from the Tools menu.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-159" title="tools_menu" src="http://blog.sitedaniel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/tools_menu.png" alt="" width="284" height="323" /></p>
<p>Please leave me any feedback, suggestions or complaints in the comments.</p>
