ComicNerd.com Comic Shop Finder Widget works great as a plugin, providing a widget that shows local comic book stores to the zip code entered.
Installation
- Download ComicNerd.com Comic Shop Finder Widget
- Extract the files in the .zip archive, and upload them (including subfolders) to your
/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Place the widget where you like in your sidebars
- Enjoy!
Themes Integration / Modification
At this time there is no modification available and I don’t plan on introducing any options for doing so. The widget does its job quite well and needs no customization.
Changelog
- 0.1 - Build.
- 0.2 - Added a link to the Widget download.
ComicNerd.com Comic Shop Finder Widget is released under a GPL v3 license.
Special thank you to Frausten, without whom this widget wouldn’t even exist! He is the creator of the Wordpress.com Popular Post plugin and you should buy him a coffee!
Please enjoy, do not exploit and feel free to ask any questions below.
Thank you!

Yeah, that’s what I thought. Wordpress.com doesn’t allow plug-ins because users don’t have a host site and it’s a security risk. Or something.

I know! Poo! One of these days I’ll have to upgrade to Wordpress.org, and when I do you can bet your nifty little widget will be on the side. ^^

Hey Stephanie I don’t know if you’re still subscribed to this but GEN can use this plugin. I just noticed they’re using Wordpress too. Seems like it would make sense there.

Hello,
I am trying to use the Comic shop finder Widget onto my Wordpress blog and when I type in a zip code I get the following message “We’re sorry, but we’ve encountered an internal error. Please retry.”
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Bill
