## Description

anywhere on your website.

#### Styling

There is **no extra styling**. You can however do it yourself, in your theme. This
is what the HTML looks like, depending on what you decide to display (in the settings):

    ```
    <div class="whereabouts-swarm-location">
        <img class="whereabouts-swarm-icon" src="..." alt="" />
        <span class="whereabouts-swarm-venue">Venue Name</span>
        <span class="whereabouts-swarm-city">City Name</span>
        <span class="whereabouts-swarm-country">Country Name</span>
        <span class="whereabouts-swarm-timezone">UTC Time Zone</span>
    </div>
    ```
