    I want to make a page on my blog that will allow viewers to put in their city and state and click enter, and have a list of offices returned that are in their area. What would be the best way to do that? A plug-in? Or would I have to code a script myself?

    It needs to be a plugin but I'd expect that you will have to write it. It is unlikely there is one that is just right already.

    Its a reasonably simple setup - a list of offices and where they are. What gets tricky is how to link the visitors city and state to the office. You don't want to have to maintain a list of cities and their proximity to the office. Hopefully there's some sort of zip code system you can use.
