## Description

The plugin displays activity in a [Gowalla](http://gowalla.com) Spot in a WordPress
Post or Page. It uses the [Gowalla API](http://api.gowalla.com/api/explorer) and
requires the unique Spot ID saved in a custom field in WordPress.

Example: http://www.surdegskartan.se/mellbybagaren/

The last five activities are displayed (API limit).

    com/spots/XXXXX)

    the loop in a/the page template where you want the list to be displayed

## FAQ

#### How do I uninstall the plugin?

Inactivate the plugin and remove the php-line added in the template. If you want
you can also remove the Custom Field.

#### How come the feed isnt showing?

You might have forgotten to add the line of php `<?php if (function_exists('gowalla_spotter'))
gowalla_spotter(); ?>` or there is an error in it. Also check that you have a working
Spot ID from Gowalla.
