Timberline Dealerships main website has had a face-lift. Many direct to employee email forms have been added. Click through links to google maps have been added on every listed address. Google provides (usually) great turn by turn driving directions. If you happen to have an iPhone, or a Shoretel with a slight modification, phone numbers are click through links too.

Windows Live Writer and Safari

I’ve finally found something that I don’t like about the Windows Live Writer. The only maps it supports by default are maps from Microsoft’s website.

I changed all the links on my sites that  had linked to Microsoft maps over to Google maps which has better support for more browsers.
