Map My Posts

Less is more. Light is better. You original idea is awesome. Keep going ! These updates would be appreciate : 
- an update to use the new Google Map API,
- make it 100% WPML compatible (join translated locations using shortcode static map)
- be able to add our own custom taxonomy from the dashboard 

Your original idea is awesome

Map My Posts allows you to display a Google Map or Geochart visualization, associating map locations with your existing categories or tags.

Where I’ve Been embeds your whereivebeen.com maps on your WordPress blog.
I created this plugin after searching for an easy way to embed whereivebeen.com maps on WordPress blogs and not finding one. 
Please visit the plugin homepage (http://www.nicmyers.com/where-ive-been-wordpress-plugin/) for updates and more information.
0.6.0 New Feature
You can now change the width of your map by adding the width=”” attribute to your shortcode. The height is automatically calculated for you.
<h3>Usage</h3>
Before you can embed the map on your blog, you will need to retrieve two user id’s found in the source code of your whereivebeen.com profile.
<ol>
<li>Go to http://www.whereivebeen.com and log in to your account.</li>
<li>Click on the “Profile” or “My Profile” buttons to pull up your map.</li>
<li>Right click in your browser and select “View Page Source”(Firefox), “View Source” (Internet Explorer & Safari).</li>
<li>Search the code (CTRL-f Windows, Command-f Mac) first for “uID” and then for “iID” and record each of the corresponding values that are single quotation marks. 
Example: Person = { uID: ‘0000000’, sID: ‘Not Needed’, iID: ‘00000000000000000000000000000000’ ) 
You are looking for the values that are represented as 0’s in the example. The uID will be around 8 digits long and the iID around 32 digits.</li>
</ol>
The plugin makes use of WordPress Shortcodes and has two required options and two optional ones. 
Embed maps into your post or page using shortcode: [whereivebeen uid=”Required” iid=”Required” roundcorners=”Optional” width=”Optional”]
<ol>
<li>uid = Required Your unique 8 digit uID found on your whereivebeen.com profile (see readme).</li>
<li>iid = Required Your unique 8 digit iID found on your whereivebeen.com profile (see readme).</li>
<li>roundcorners = Optional This option can be set to either ‘true’ or ‘false’, the default is ‘true’. This option will change the corners on the map window to either round(true) or square(false).</li>
<li>width = Optional Set the width if the default (570×360) is too wide for your blog. The height is automatically calculated for you.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Updates</h3>
Updates will be posted here and at http://www.nicmyers.com/where-ive-been-wordpress-plugin/ 
To update the plugin simply use WordPress’s built in one-click updater. If you wish to upgrade manually simply repeat the installation steps.
