## Description

This plugin is a really simple way to add the Google Latitude “Where Am I” badge
code as part of your sidebars. V1.03 fixes a trailing Anchor tag that wasn’t closed
properly. In addition, thanks to Dennis Wu (http://denniswu.com/) and Phil Bridges(
http://philbridges.com/) for helping to find that SOME users will have a “-” in 
front of their Latitude id.

b) copy the number after “user=” in the displayed script **WARNING** Some users 
will be a negative number. If you leave out the “-” it will fail. *****
