I am trying to embed a map widget into a wordpress blog.
Visitors to the blog should be able to place a marker on the map and others should be able to view places that other people have marked.
It should not require people to log in before placing a marker.
Can anyone recommend such a service?
Just found http://mapservices.org - seems to be working great so far.

Great day to you all,
I'm using a forms plugin to create quizzes. In the plugin there is a piece of literary text on the left, questions on the right. I would like the user to be able to highlight or underline anything during the quiz. I have done a lot of researching to try and find a solution or a plugin to achieve such purpose.
If you please, assist I will be forever thankful. The plugin I'm using is eForm - WordPress Form Builder by WPQuark.
I have found the below tool set on one of the sites I was randomly browsing to find that what I am looking for is not impossible, but it is either custom-coded or a plugin somewhere. I can link the website that I have found this tool set on if you wish.

I have a website (testing) on wordpress and installed a plugin to show google +1 button for each post. And when someone press it, the number increases with one.
My Question is Where this +1 button points ? As far as i know +1 is for google plus posts on pages on profile but my website post is NOWHERE on google plus(page) it is just on my website and the same for facebook like button (where it points)
I hope you understand what i am talking about.Please help
Well, there is a "+1s" page in Google+ user profiles, you can find your own here: https://plus.google.com/yourgoogleplususeridhere/plusones
Seems like it is not visible to other users from the beginning on. You can change that in the settings, but as an external user you probably don´t see other users +1s if they don´t want to. Maybe that´s your problem.
To be more clear on this: If you are not in someones circles and they have furthermore disabled to publicly share their +1s, you might not see them on Google+, although they are there. Somewhere.
I'm working on a Wordpress website for a friend and want to put a calendar on a page that when the mouse scrolls over a country for the country to light up and display some information as well as give the user some options to download a pdf about that country.
See http://us.fulbrightonline.org/countries/selectedregion/23 to get an idea of what I mean.
Just need to get a sense of what technologies and tools are needed to make something like this work. I know I will need to utilize an API but the hovering and attaching a pdf to each country is new to me.
You could try to use the Google Geochart API for your problem. It allows to create interactive maps and to capture click events. It also allows to color countries individually and to display tooltips. You can find more information and examples here: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geochart
I created a plugin for WordPress that uses this API. It integrates all the needed scripts and allows to build a map from the admin panel. You can find more information here:

I am using the Pronamic Google Maps WordPress plugin to show a location at my website.
It works, but the zoom control is shown incorrectly:
There are plenty of other plugins, which provide the same functionality, try different one, for example Mappress Google Maps.
It appears that this is issue, related to the plugin, post your question on plugin's forum thread.
It appears to be a Google Maps-issue and can be fixed with some CSS-code: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/zoom-control-not-properly-shown
Can you suggest a very very simple issue tracking widget. UserVoice, is a little too involved for us with their forums and what not. What we want is something that just allows people to send us an issue or note and grabs a URL.
If by widget you mean something that you can embed on your page that will allow visitors to leave feedback/issues, there are javascript plugins, like feedback_me that will allow posting feedback to a backend provided by you.
If your are not comfortable with supplying a backend of your own, there are of course countless products that will do basic stuff for you and more. This is list by no means complete, but it's a start:
Usersnap
Trackduck
Marker
Userback
Bugmuncher
Doorbell
Hava a look at userrules.com
It allows you to integrate to your internal Issue Tracking system (JIRA, BugZilla, Redmine, Basecamp etc.). Any feedback from your customers come, you can directly export it to ur external system. And it will keep track of its progress for you.
Liked, what they have done with their UI, plus you can add your own customizable fields to ask some specific info from your customers in the feedback widget.
Getsatisfaction? BitBucket? Github? Google Code? All have issue trackers and, except for that last one, allow you to keep your code private, but your issues public.
