heh - I made a WordPress Plugin!

So

there’s this plugin already existing in Word Press that puts the lyrics to “Hello, Dolly” on the upper right side of the Admin screen - where you write your masterpiece - but it really didn’t do anything for me.

I decided to change it to Elvis Costello’s classic Red Shoes - you know, the one that starts “Oh, I used to be disgusted/ But now I try to be amused…” which really sums it all up in a nice little couplet, doesn’t it?

you can get ahold of my first WP plugin by clicking the cool link: red Shoes plugin, and copy/paste it into a text editor. Save this file in your wp-content/plugins folder as “redshoes.php“. [Alternately, you could just right-click the link and choose "Save Target As..", enter "redshoes.php" (without the quotes) in the name field and save in the same folder.]

I’ll try to add this little bit of randomness to the regular site, too. Just a little morsel of fun from me to you - cheers!

Now, go out and be nice to someone.
