well, now that was convenient, metal-lord
and for future reference, instructions backed up here:
BLF Members Map
A map of approximate locations of BLF members.
Feel free to add your location:
Use the search box to locate your city, state, and country.
On the marker that appears, you’ll see a link that says ’Save to maps‘ within the bubble.
Click the link and select the ‘BLF Members’.
Optional steps for advanced users:
4. Click ‘View map’
5. Click ‘Edit’
6. Select the pushpin (added in step 2&3)
7. Edit ‘Title’ & ‘Description’ to include your user name and city, state & country (for example ‘the - Helsinki, Finland’)
8. Click ‘Done’
Enjoy!!!

Does this require a google account? To create one, they want a phone number to send a verification code.

As far as I remember you don’t need phone number. I just set one up for my mother the other day. I don’t believe so.

I expected more, but there's only 1 member listed from latin america, and 1 more from Spain. Maybe there's not as much crossover between blf and fotolinternas as I thought.

But only “sometimes”. Other times you don’t need to. Go figure.

Probably depends on what personal information you already have linked to your backup email address. That’s what their FAQs seem to indicate.

Did I do it correctly? Am I on? (Hahahah. Randomly clicking on the island, I was about a quarter away from where I used to live a few years ago. )

One more here
I see that I’m not alone in these latitudes!

Thanks MRsDNF. Now I feel more isolated
Ah well, guess it’s time to walk down to the local solarforce store and buy myself that z2 I was eying yesterday.
