There are all sorts of WordPress plugins to integrate a variety of social networking and social media platforms with your blog. You will have no trouble finding a widget or two to put your latest tweets in the sidebar, just as you can find plugins for Flickr, YouTube, Facebook and more. Foursquare shouldn’t be any exception.

If you love “checking in” to just about everywhere that you go, the Foursquare Latest Checkins WordPress widget plugin is for you. Rather than simply providing a text-based list of your most recent check-ins on Foursquare, the displayed widget will actually show the appropriate icons relevant to each location. Restaurants show a fork and knife icon, for example.

The plugin is very simple to install and configure. All you do is download and upload the appropriate files, activate the plugin, and enter your Foursquare credentials. You can change the title for the widget, as well as the number of recent plugins to display at any given time. A widget like this can be fantastic for a travel blog, but it can be just as easily applied to a range of other sites.
