Adding badge filter

I think it would be amazing if there was a way to filter how the badges appear in the profile view or the wordpress plugin. The reason is that a lot of the badge names are kind of vague and don't really describe well what part they are in. I think it would be cool if maybe we can show off which ones are for certain learning adventures or deep dives or even just categories such as html, php, css, etc.

It would be AWESOME if Treehouse badges could be integrated to the Mozilla OpenBadges project http://backpack.openbadges.org/

Melissa Oveson - Currently the JSON that powers the Treehouse badges widgets only has the 5 categories that you see in library: Websites, Programming, Business, iOS Development, Android Development.

I tweaked Riley Hilliard's JQuery-based Treehouse Badges widget (which is based on Mark Flavin's Wordpress widget) to filter using these categories.

Here's the code: http://codepen.io/jamesbarnett/pen/yedgl

Thanks! I think this is at least a good step in the right direction. I just know I have over 100 badges and it's hard to try to show them off using the wordpress widget when I have so many and the categories really do help.

You can also show the most recent badges, like I did here:
