 * i am now getting this error message after (seemingly) figuring out how to get
   the maps API – (which, you should mention in your installation instructions, 
   you also need to check off “Places” in the API services, in order to get your
   business location on the map):
 * “Google has disabled use of the Maps API for this application. The provided key
   is not a valid Google API key, or it is not authorized for the Google Maps Javascript
   API v3 on this site. If you are the owner of this application, you can learn 
   about obtaining a valid key here: [https://develpopers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#/Obtaining_key](https://develpopers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#/Obtaining_key)“
 * soooo, what do i do???
