Dynamic Badges
Now you can easily get a snippet of code that you copy and paste to get dynamically-updated Upcoming.org event lists on your website! I've been making the Badge Builder over the past few days, and with plenty of help and testing from Andy and Leonard, we've got something that we think is a pretty cool syndication tool!It's highly customizable, with two templates and plenty of options, and our ears are open to your suggestions. We'd love to see what you do with them, so when you paste them onto your website, blog, or journal, put a link in the comments to this post so we can check em out!
As an introduction, my name is Gordon Luk. I've been working on Upcoming.org in my spare time since March, and I'm happy to announce that i'll be working on Upcoming.org as one of my main priorities in my new career in self-employment. You may see my work in the API, tagging built on my open-source Freetag library, Groups, and these new Badges! We know that development is bound to speed up now that myself and Leonard Lin can dedicate our professional resources to Upcoming and its community, and we are excited to see what we can accomplish at full power!

Is there a way to keep multi-day events on the badge for the duration of the event? As it stands now, the event slips off the badge once the first day of the event passes. Thanks!
