Today, I'm excited to announce the launch of our location widget. As the first widget of it's kind to natively display all of your checkins alongside a live map, it's a natural complement to our other social widgets to fully customize your Squarespace website. Whether you're on Foursquare, Gowalla or Facebook Places, you can treat your visitors to a visualization of where you've been. Like all things Squarespace, no code is required and the widget is fully customizable in both style and substance. Choose whether to show your check-in messages, toggle venue icons, dates, the map and how many checkins to display.

I can imagine musical artists on Squarespace will love this for when they're on tour. Anybody who's building an online presence should go try it right now. Be sure to tell us how you plan on using the widget in the comments, and show us your version by tweeting @Squarespace with your site. Mike O'Brien, our lead programmer on the location widget project, would love your feedback to make the widget the best it can be. As always, should you come across any funky behavior, open up a support ticket and we'll take care of it for you.

Cheers,
Davin
