Simon,
Sorry I missed the target on this yesterday. If you go to the map maker
tool at the original URL, it now tells you three things below the map: (1)
HTML code if you want to embed the map on an off-site web page; (2) the raw
URL of the SVG file (gzip-compressed per the 'svgz' standard); and (3) an
FTX code snippet that you can cut & paste. I'd probably recommend a 200x200
pixel map or thereabouts for the sidebar. The links to clubs aren't there
yet, however.

I made the font size selection code a bit smarter: If the label is long,
the text automatically shrinks. It's still not ideal, but I think you'll
agree it's better than before.

If anyone happens to give this a try, I'd be curious to hear how easy it was
for you.
