During the afternoon plenary session of the Esri 2014 User Conference an app built using the recently released Story Map Journal was shown. The journal was assembled by Story Map team members Jon Bowen and Melanie Rosenberg. Here's the link to the app Learn more about the Story Map Journal application template.

A recent post covered the steps to embed a map gallery in a web page. Someone today mentioned that the HTML generated doesn't center the gallery. That's true, but it's easy enough to center it - though what you need to do will depend on your web page style and structure. In the simplest case all you need to do is add the <p> tag align attribute or CSS to center the gallery. The best way is to use CSS since the align attribute is not supported in HTML 5. For example, this HTML (copied and pasted directly from Share > Embed in Gallery):
<iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0"
src="http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/embedGallery.html?
displayapps=true&displayinline=true&group=2394b887a80347fb8544610cfa30489c"
style="width:720px; height:238px">
</iframe>
Will result in a left justified gallery. Adding the text-align style and <p> tag as shown below will center the gallery ribbon:
<p style="text-align:center">
<iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0"
src="http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/embedGallery.html?
displayapps=true&displayinline=true&group=2394b887a80347fb8544610cfa30489c"
style="width:720px; height:238px">
</iframe>
</p>
Here's a visual in a simple test page of the results in order (the box indicates the web page margins): Again, depending on your web page formatting, your mileage may vary...

With the July 2014 ArcGIS Online update the original Basic Viewer app template was renamed Classic Viewer, and a new Basic Viewer app template appeared. You'll currently find both on the first app template gallery page: If you are looking for an app template that offers many of the capabilities of the web map viewer without the authoring, the Basic Viewer was a good choice. The new template is much improved, and I recommend you check it out - it's a nice modernization of a good all-around "work horse" template, and can be custom-configured easily.

Today I downloaded the source data from the U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2008-1154 - Preliminary Map of Potentially Karstic Carbonate Rocks in the Central and Southern Appalachian States - and published it as tile and feature services, along with a few maps and apps. You'll find the layers via search, and you can also view the data in this app which uses the new Basic Viewer template.

Just in case you missed it in the blur of information surrounding the Esri User Conference, the Storytelling with Maps Contest winners were announced last week and posted on the Story Maps website. You'll get some great ideas and learn from these excellent examples that use a variety of different story map templates.

Dear all, "b" for blue icons and "r" for red icons. Now I have the problem, that all icons are furthermore displayed in red... Just a hunch (I have not verified this yet) but try using "B" and "R" - Red is the default color, so I suspect it's not picking up the color change...

This current limitation has been noted and the team will look to implement this - I don't believe it will make this next update (next week) but if not, then one soon after.

Another option is to add a link to somewhere that does support multiple photos per location. How you implement this depends on the story map template you plan to use. For example, using the Map Tour you could add a hyperlink to Flickr photo set, or some other website that enabled multiple photo display. For the templates that expose the web map pop-ups, these links can be configured directly in the pop-up window. In the past I've used JAlbum to support multiple photos at one location. That's not an endorsement, it's just a handy tool that I have used to accomplish what you want, and there are lots of similar alternatives to chose from.

Thanks for sharing this great story map. Your customizations are very nice and effective. We'll add it to the gallery, but we'd like to make sure that you've added the story map as an item, documented it well, and used the appropriate tags. This blog post covers the tags and other details to consider: http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2013/10/04/best-practices-story-maps/ - bern

Upload images to flicker > Individually extract Image source url from code > copy and paste each URL into appropriate CSV spreadsheet record.....SO TIME CONSUMING. Here's a tip that might help you since you have your photos stored in Flickr. You can use the Map Tour Builder to create a layer in your map: http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2013/08/14/adding-geotagged-photos-to-your-web-map/ This, unfortunately, will peg out at 100 photos. But it will get you started. You can then open the web map in ArcGIS Desktop and export the layer table as a text file. Repeat as needed for every batch of 100, then munch them together in Excel. I know it's an odd workflow, but it may work out for you... Bern

With the release of the new Analysis tools in the ArcGIS Online web map, you will need to create at least one feature service to enable the appearance of the Perform Analysis option when you want to perform analysis on any feature layer. Without a previously created feature service the Perform Analysis option will not appear. This is a glitch that will be resolved in a future release. An easy way to create a simple feature service to "seed" and enable the Perform Analysis choice is to add a spreadsheet with a single location to My Contents in your org subscription with Administrator or Publisher privileges. When you add the spreadsheet with these privileges you can select the option to spin it up as a feature service, thereby seeding the feature service capability needed to enable Perform Analysis as an option. If you've already created a hosted feature service in your organization, this is not necessary.

You'll need to have two separate accounts, but if you do you can transfer from one account to another using a sample tool on GitHub: https://github.com/Esri/ago-assistant It actually copies maps so if you are using map IDs in apps, you'll need to edit the apps that use them.

If I am understanding correctly, one option for you is to create a map using your very detailed, high res parcel map as the basemap, or another layer of similar resolution. Click to view the details for the layer you are about to add via search in your web map, then choose Use as Basemap as your option. This will set the zoom to match the resolution of your data. Here's a blog post that covers setting a custom basemap: http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2012/01/04/using-custom-basemaps/ You can add the world topographic basemap (or any other) as a layer on top of your custom basemap, and they will just cease to draw when you zoom in past their resolution.

The way this works is if you click on one pin that overlays others, you will see an arrow on the right of the pop-up window and on the left of the pop-up at the top you will see (1 of xx) where xx is the number of results returned by your mouse click. Currently there is no way to return multiple pop-ups with one click.

This is not currently possible. When adding a shapefile you create features in a feature layer which are stored in the map, and no longer have a relationship with the source. Best bet currently is to publish features via ArcGIS Server to enable editing of the source location, or use hosted feature services (currently in beta).
