Ran across Coastr yesterday while I was reading some blogs about beer. It’s kinda nifty. Very simple app. It lets you put what beers you like to drink and where you like to drink them and tells you other people who have similar tastes. The idea being that maybe you can find some new beers by looking at what other people who are similar to you like.
I made a post on the guys blog about adding RSS feeds for the individual users, and to my surprise, he had it up and going the next morning. Very cool.
So naturally, I made a widget for it. You can see it in my ever-growing sidebars somewhere (bottom right, at the moment).
And so here it is: The Coastr Widget.
Update: Version 1.1 adds some code to handle the beer names and such properly, so it won’t cause validation errors on your blog anymore.
OTTO! Cool widget! If only I could figure out how to use it!… Looks perfect for what we’re trying to do on our WP site.
I have the widget set up in my sidebar, but I see nothing. I’m using wp 2.3
Thx! jerry
OK, well- I figured out how to use it, but its not working. I see error code. Has there been a fix for latest WP i need to use?
thx
