I’ve decided I’m not ready for colour, and it’s pretty dull weather outside anyway. For now I’m focusing on getting the CSS and layout right. I’m planning on developing this into a very customisable, yet straight forward Wordpress theme to give away. Hope you like.

Turns out it’s much easier than I anticipated, location is pulled from the published XML and stuck into a static Google map. Easy.

Seeing as it was so straight forward, I went the extra step further and made it customisable from the plugin admin section. If it’s of any interest to anyone, here it is:

Download iBrightKite

Update: The plugin has been approved by Wordpress. Success.

Update: I’ve made some changes, the plugin should now be compatible with PHP4 (in theory) and locations can now be cached. If it didn’t work before, please try again.
