What can I do with Glinkr?
The example gallery gives some examples of applications we are reasonably sure make sense such as mapping a domain of knowledge or a debate, graphically representing a site map, organising and sharing on the Web specialised bookmarks, recommending interesting contents in a site or event, etc. In the end, only through your usage will one know in which areas Glinkr brings a true added value.

I try to insert a map in a blog entry, and it does not show up in preview mode
Your blog platform must be using i-frames to present the preview. Glinkr map are also i-frames and don't show up in another i-frame. Try publishing your entry and checking that the map appears in normal view mode.

I can't truly export my map to work on it with other tools
