Right now, a practical use of the plugin is for exactly why I made it in the first place, for a portfolio. I have it embedded into the header of my portfolio linking directly to my LinkedIn page.

I have submitted a new version of the page with a screenshot, which will hopefully give a better feel for what I mean. My plan is for those badges to be available to every user, so that each one can display their LinkedIn details.

Could you give some example use cases for this plugin?

Just letting you know about the newly released LinkedIn Badge plugin. The plugin is designed to display the badge that LinkedIn provides to link to your profile.

I hope to make the plugin available on all user profiles. Please feel free to provide any comments and suggestions, and I hope you enjoy.
