  Hi there

  I’d like to have some kind of Foursquare element on my sidebar… ideally a nice-looking list of my recent checkins, or perhaps a single, small map of my last checkin. Failing that, a nice button leading to my Foursquare profile would be nice. But haven’t found anything applicable.

  Anyone come across anything? Is there a widget in the pipeline?

  Thanks in advance.

  We can’t offer advice or workarounds without the URL of the blog, starting with http.

  Thanks. If Foursquare supplies an RSS feed, you can just put the feed in an RSS widget in your sidebar. There won’t be any option to have a map; for security reasons the software that could do that is stripped out here.
