Another simple link for a Sunday, how to write your own Plugin.
If you break out in a cold sweat on mention of terms like ‘the loop’ and ‘function’ you might want to just skip this post and look at some nice themes.
Plugin creation really is simpler than you think, and there are a host of ways to get started, but this tutorial hit the spot for me. I love the attitude of the writer:
“Creating a plugin for Wordpress is really simple. First of all create a new file in your
/wp-content/plugins/folder. “
Emphasis mine.
The article is a simple step by step for creating a very simple plugin that provides a wrapper for reusable functions to be used anywhere. I have to admit that my first few plugins were simply hacks of existing plugins stripped down to the bone. This article is a much easier intro.
I also love the theme.
