## Description

Cloudstitch is a community of spreadsheet powered widgets you can add to any site—
things like product lists, data visualizations, and conference schedules.

This plugin makes every widget on Cloudstitch available in WordPress with a simple
Shortcode.

Adding a shaded electoral map of the US, for example, is as simple as adding the
following line: `[cloudstitch widget="project-templates/electoral-map-visualization"]`

### Trying it Out

Try out the plugin by injecting demo widget already on Cloudstitch. Just add the
following Shortcode to a page or post:

    ```
    `
    ```

[cloudstitch widget=”project-templates/electoral-map-visualization”]
 `

### Using your own Cloudstitch Widgets

You can inject any widget that you’ve duplicated and customized on Cloudstitch. 
The general Shortcode format is:

    ```
    `
    ```

[cloudstitch widget=”USER-NAME/PROJECT-NAME”]
 `

For example, let’s say you visited Cloudstitch.io and duplicated [that electoral map widget](http://cloudstitch.io/project-templates/electoral-map-visualization).

Assuming your username is `TheIncredibleHulk`, you would end up with your own copy
of the project hosted at a URL like this: `http://cloudstitch.io/TheIncredibleHulk/
electoral-map-visualization`.

Your custom Shortcode is thus `[cloudstitch widget="TheIncredibleHulk/electoral-
map-visualization"]`

## Installation

Installation is easy! Just:

 1. Upload and unzip `cloudstitch-wordpress.zip` in the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

 * I’ve installed the plugin, now how do I find a widget?

Just go to [cloudstitch.io](http://www.cloudstitch.io) to find a directory of widgets.

 * What kinds of things can you power with Cloudstitch?

Cloudstitch is great for powering part of your site with Google Spreadsheets. We
love spreadsheets, and we loge WordPress. Cloudstitch lets you have your WordPress
cake and eat it too: use WordPress for things like pages and posts, and use Cloudstitch
to power your data-heavy pages and visualizations.
