Austin Tech Events (via door64) WordPress Plugin

Hi!

So I made (ok, I customized) a WordPress plugin/widget that you can drop on your blog and display/promote the upcoming events listed on Door64.

The beauty is if enough local bloggers use this widget, when you post an event to the Door64 events page, it's not just promoted here at Door64, it's promoted on all the blogs that use this widget!

Right now the widget is using JavaScript. This is unfortunate, because if it was using PHP all the event websites would gain Page Rank. My plan is to address that in a future release.

Let me know what you think! :)

Thanks guys! :)

I just pushed version 1.1. (Fixed a few bugs)

Also, if anyone isn't running WordPress (or is running an old version) you can still run the widget on your site. Check out this post for instructions.
