Genny, I would encourage you to release your plugin, though writing plugins can be an addictive behavior ;-) You might consider widgetizing the sidebar component of your plugin so that nobody but you needs to muck around in PHP to make it work. There's a good template for making the widget and the dashboard controls for the widget in the WordPress source. Take a look at the bottom of this file, starting around line 1440: http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.6.3/wp-includes/widgets.php And the easiest way to release your plugin is via the WordPress plugin directory. You can register your plugin here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/ --Casey __________________________________________ Information Architect Plymouth State University Plymouth, New Hampshire http://Plymouth.edu/ http://about.Scriblio.net/ http://MaisonBisson.com/ ph: 603-535-2256 On Nov 6, 2008, at 4:23 AM, Genny Engel wrote: > I've written my first WordPress plugin (woohoo!) that displays a > "Today > at the Library" list of the current day's events.
