GeoURL and Montreal Blogs

[crowded web] You'd want to take a subset of the results returned by geourl, otherwise you get too much noise. The way to do that is to host a page for each blog including geotags under a specific subdomain (for instance, this could be geo.yulblog.org or dir.yulblog.org (directory, for something more flexible)).
