## Description

This plugin provides geodata for posts associated with authors utilizing [Brightkite](http://brightkite.com),
the location based micro-content social network.

Brightkite provides data regarding the users activities via KML. This plugin parses
the KML to determine latitude and longitude and geotags RSS2 and Atom feeds according
to the [ICBM Namespace](http://postneo.com/icbm/). Additional functionality allows
for Google Map integration with posts.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `wp-brightkite/` directory to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Fill out Brightkite user data on your profile page. Note: Standard WP permissions
    apply.
 4. Use the `<?php post_gmap() ?>` within your template to print a mini 10×10 map icon,
    clickable for Google Maps location.

## FAQ

#### How can I get a Brightkite invite?

Ask around on Twitter or elsewhere. There’s invites to be had.

#### Can I change the size of the Google Map template tag?

Not yet, but I plan to do that in future versions.
