+                 publicly accessible online.

+                  </p>
+                  <p> Then when you open that collection in MapKnitter Lite, 
+                   it will auto-detect your saved map and place images as 
+                   you had them.</p>

+                        <p>
+                       Anyone with the file can drag it onto MapKnitter Lite,
