## Description

The Stackoverflow Profile Widget is a WordPress widget that displays a
 summary 
of your profile on the Stackoverflow.com website. It shows your reputation, the 
number and kind of medals you’ve achieved, and a selected list of answers you have
posted in StackOverflow. For each answer, it displays the question’s title, the 
answer’s score, and the time the answer was last edited.

You can limit the number of answer entries to display. You can sort the
 list based
on score or date.

The widget uses the StackExchange API, version 2.0, in order to retrieve
 information.

It caches the content for a configurable period.

### Requirements

 * json_decode / json_encode must be available.
 * PHP5.2 or higher
 * StackOverflow API Key is optional (http://stackapps.com/questions/2/api-hello-
   world-code)

### Acknowledgements

This plugin was initially based on and inspired by the Stackoverflow
 Answers Widget
from Mohammed Alsharaf. That code is licensed under the New BSD license.

Under the terms of that license, I am acknowledging the origins of this
 code. See
the License-Alsharaf.txt file for full details.

This plugin differs from that one in that:

 * it uses the official Stackexchange API
 * it caches results properly
 * it displays medal counts
 * it uses a nicer skin
 * can display upvoted answers, or any answers.
