documentation: odyssey w/ cartodb map

[matallo]

in the last days several use cases of using Odyssey + CartoDB have come up to support in the last days. Until a proper integration comes, it would be great to document this. While doing this maybe you can find the next links interesting.

@lauraguzman do you think you could spend an hour of your remaining to just write up a bit better in the odyssey docs how to use CartoDB layers?

[lauraguzman]

Hi Andrew, Sure thing. Quick confirmation, I understand that the way to use
CartoDB layers is through the vizjson link. I'll write up a short section
on finding the link and inserting it in the config block. Is there anything
else you're imagining?

Carlos - Can you clarify how/for what I could use the links you provided?

Map, analyze and build applications with your data

[andrewxhill]

Yep, that's how. That seems perfect. there is a piece in the documentation
about the vizjson parameter in Odyssey, but nothing more. So yeah, just a
short piece exactly as you are saying
