Thanks for all your positive comments. Looking at analytics, I see a lot of people have visited from SSP, including one person from Canada (hello!). Some specific answers to questions:

Yes, I think I'll a) add a link to SSP on the blog sidebar, and b) add links to individual discussion threads on each project, where applicable.

Good idea.

Manually. It's not automatically getting the data from anywhere. The plugin that powers the map does have an option for user submitted pins. I've turned that off for now, but maybe I will change it in the future.

I've been studying hard for exams, and just took the last one I'm planning on taking this year this past Saturday. So until I start studying for the next round, I have some free time.

So the map is just in the early stages at the moment. I was trying to get as many projects on there as possible. The general idea will be to add a one or two sentence description for each project, along with a link to the project website if it exists. The more details link will take the user to a category on the news page, with all the updates on the project. I haven't got very far with this yet, but you can click on the 4th & Harrison pin as an example of what I eventually want all the pins to look like.
