Experts Exchange EEple Badge

From Experts Exchange:

Experts-Exchange.com is an IT and computer solutions community of more than 50,000 experts dedicated to exchanging knowledge and solving your technical problems. Experts Exchange is the most efficient and reliable IT resource on the Internet as evident by more than 2.6 million tech solutions.

This plugin extracts data from your public profile page and creates a badge showing your “EEple” (Experts Exchange People), rank, points, and registration date.

Your badge is displayed in a sidebar widget. It is dynamic, so as you accumulate points your badge will change automatically.

Ideas

• Add a title to the sidebar widget.
• Create a shortcode to include the badge in a post or page.
• Create the badge as a standalone page (so it can be loaded into a text widget).

1. Upload plugin to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Go to the Widgets admin page and add the widget to one of your sidebars
4. Type your Experts Exchange Member ID into the settings of the widget
