Just log in, view your trip, and click on the <em>Widgets and Badges<\/em> tab to get one for your trip. There are different variations and sizes for you to choose from. We know that not everyone wants to display their budget, but you can still show &#8217;em those flags. (Want a different size? Let us know. We aim to please.) We\u2018re just as excited to announce that soon there will be a WordPress plugin, too.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong style=\"font-size: 1.25em;\">Plan Your Trip Budget<\/strong><br \/>\nWe\u2019ve also made a great addition to the trip planning section. When you\u2019re adding budget items to your trip, you\u2019ll be able to see the average daily costs for the city or country that you\u2019ll be visiting. That way, you\u2019ll have a general idea of how much stuff will cost you. You can even click the little button to add that cost to your trip\u2019s planned budget, saving you time. A lot of you have expressed an interest in planning longer trips, so we\u2019ve increased the number of days that you can repeat your spending items.  Now you can stick in the price for accommodations, for example, and repeat it for the next 100 days. Then you\u2019ll have an easy and quick way to compare your planned budget to your actual spending.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_711\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-711\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.budgetyourtrip.com\/blog\/2010\/12\/new-features\/addcosts\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-711\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.budgetyourtrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/addcosts-680x243.jpg\" alt=\"Add Average Daily Costs\" title=\"Add Average Daily Costs\" width=\"680\" height=\"243\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-711 border\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-711\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Once you choose a city, you'll be able to see the average daily costs on the right.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\n<strong style=\"font-size: 1.25em;\">API<\/strong><br \/>\nBudget Your Trip now has an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.budgetyourtrip.com\/api\" target=\"_blank\">API<\/a>. It\u2019s small, but growing. If you\u2019re looking to make some sort of plugin, mashup, hack, or whatever, then go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.budgetyourtrip.com\/api\" target=\"_blank\">read the documentation<\/a>. If you need data in a different format, let us know and we\u2019ll get you what you need.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong style=\"font-size: 1.25em;\">Estimate Your Costs<\/strong><br \/>\nFinally, we\u2019ve redesigned the city and country information pages (which you can find under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.budgetyourtrip.com\/budgetqueryadv.php\" target=\"_blank\">Estimate Costs<\/a>). All of the information you might need is now much easier to find. Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.budgetyourtrip.com\/estimate\/France\/2988507\" target=\"_blank\">Paris<\/a>, for example. In addition to viewing average daily costs, you\u2019ll be able to look up sights, restaurants, hotels, and events from FourSquare, Gowalla, and Eventful. We even plot everything on a nifty map for all of you navigational nerds. (You know you are!) And don\u2019t forget that you can share travel tips for your favorite places, too.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Update<\/strong>: You can now export your budget data to Excel (or any other spreadsheet program)!<\/p>\n<p>\nIn addition to the changes we\u2019ve listed here, we\u2019re always open to new ideas. So let us know if you need something.
