Hey guys

Request:
--------------
Another request I need, is access to post location of the post I am
sending. This is what I am guessing the posterous photo app for the
iphone has. I would guess this would go in the newPost API method,
with am optional attribute.


Reason
--------------
To be able to have users send their location when posting.


Thanks guys

It would also be nice to be able to gain access to a posts location
(from first photo, api, email etc) within the feed AND the post
(assuming javascript will allow access to the DOM).

Currently the lat/lng information is buried in an iframe within the
post.

FYI.. in the case of multiple photos, I suggest the first one becomes
the location source.

Wordpress just released one of the most complete machine readable
geotag solutions I've seen
