I added this blog to my blogroll not too long ago, but it’s good enough to get its own post. If you create a lot of KML files for public viewing, you should bookmark and visit Rich Treves’ Google Earth Design Blog on a regular basis. Good solid information on how to structure and present your data in Google Earth format, and a worthwhile companion to the Making Maps blog. Rich also has a nice set of video tutorials demonstrating how to add data to Google Earth in different formats (e.g. overlays, network links).
The GeoChalkboard Blog is a fairly new blog, “covering hands on exercises in Google Earth, Google Maps, ESRI, and Microsoft Virtual Earth technologies”, but most of its posts to date have dealt with Google Earth. It’s run by Geospatial Training Services, which offers paid computer-based courses for Google Earth and GIS software and technologies.
