Image by wallyg via Flickr A friend recommended using Zemanta on my blog. So here it goes, I'm giving it a shot. It supposedly reads your post as you write it and recommends links and photos.

It linked "New Orleans" to a Google map and the photos were automatically suggested and then generated by Zemanta. Cool. The free download is available at Zemanta .
