## Description

SWG Location Aware is a WordPress plugin that I created to dynamically serve content
based on a user’s geographic location. I am using a third party service to render
the IP address or location within the plugin. The four components I have for my 
plugin that allows it to dynamically change in the front end of a WordPress theme
are widgets, pages and comments. These will give the reader different content based
on the locations set in the administrative menu of the plugin. One limitation of
this plugin is the accuracy of the smaller areas such as cities and zip codes. The
third party service I am using is not able to render these locations accurately 
based on the information available from the visitor’s IP address. I am constantly
working to improve and make additions to this plugin.
