No La Paz

La Paz, Bolivia, doesn't turn up on the city list when you type it in.
Odd.

Strange. I was able to find it in the list on the Maps tab, so it's in there. It looks like there are quite a few La Paz's scattered around the world, so maybe that is confusing things.

You should be able to click that link above and find a "Write a blog entry from here" link down below the map. That will get you up and running.

Alternately, if you're using the map builder, you should be able to simply click the city name on the map to add it to your trip.

Let me know if this helps, or if I've simply confused you further! Are you still in South America?

Hi Jason, First of all thanks for the super-fast response.
It looks as though the problem happens when there are too many cities of the same name name. Your World Browser city-search drop-down only displays 20 cities, so if there are more than 20 cities with the same name.. well the city does not turn up.
For example, at the moment, the Bolivian city of Potosi is too far down the list (Maybe tomorrow it will be higher up the list)
Suggested possible solutions:
1. Make most popular city appear first
2. Put a scroll arrow at the bottom of the list
3. Fix the country part of the search - for example, if I type "potosi, Bolivia", the "Bolivia" part gets ignored and it keeps showing "Potosi, Cuba" etc. in the list

Sorry if that description is a little long. I really love having Blogabond on my blog!
