Show your latest FourSquare check-ins and/or badges as widgets

== Description ==

This plugin uses the FourSquare API to retrieve your recent check-ins and/or badges to display them in a widget with a variety of display options. You can

* display the check-in timestamp
* display the venues icon image and mayorships
* display the venues stats
* display your check-ins/badges on a Google map
* display the badge description

The map is my favorite feature. Venue icons or badges will be placed on the map and, if selected, on your list of checked in venues or achieved badges. Clicking an icon from the list will move the map to that venue.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin to your plugins folder: 'wp-content/plugins/' 
2. Activate the 'FourSquareAPI' plugin from the Plugins admin panel.
3. Go to the Settings -> FourSquareAPI admin panel and follow the instructions to connect with FourSquare.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is FourSquare? =

Foursquare is a mobile application that is a cross between a friend-finder, a social city-guide, and a game that encourages users to explore their neighborhoods and rewards them for doing so.

= What is the FourSquare API? =

API stands for "application programming interface." APIs facilitate interaction between different software programs by making it easy for them to share data and resources.

= What about FourSquare's API limits? =

FourSquare has a very generous 500 requests/hour limit but that doesn't mean we should just plow through it all. This plugin allows you to specify a cache time which will limit your requests to, for example, 1 per minute regardless of the number of visitors to your site.
