Lehigh Football Nation

This is especially intended for all of you folks who have blogs. I am working on creating a public-domain version of my FCS map that is shareable for everyone.
Originally, I wrote a JavaScript program using the Google Maps API to allow my site (Lehigh Football Nation (http://lehighfootballnation.blogspot.com)) to have a searchable map of every FCS stadium. With the recent development of Google Maps ("My Maps") and other websites which can host such maps, I can now create a shared version of this searchable map to be included in anyone's blog or site. This was always the dream I had for my map.
The map itself is free to use and share: all I ask is that you keep the (small) AdSense banner on the bottom of this map in your code, which allows me to maintain the map and keep the data up-to-date. Think of it as a free subscription to a service, with the only cost being one advertising banner on the bottom of the map. What you get is someone who will maintain the code for the map, and possibly make enhancements - while you just get to enjoy the map as a widget on your blog or site.
The map right now is not complete, since I need to copy all the old map data (and some HTML code) to the new one. Right now, I've copied the Patriot, CAA, Ivy, and MAAC to the map, and every other FCS school and conference will ultimately be added.
Any questions, or requests for enhancements, feel free to contact me on the blog, or leave a comment on this thread.
