Writing Wordpress Plugins

We're branching out this year, as well as Wordpress themes, we are now building custom plugins as well.

Although we've built a few plugins for customers sites, up until this point we haven't released anything into the Wordpress community, but all this is set to change with our first plugin.

Meantime, if you want to write Wordpress plugins, here's where you should start:

Creating Options Pages : Nearly all plugins will have some options. This page is also highly valuable if you want to add options to your themes.

Add a Widget : Your plugin may display data in a sidebar widget. Here's how!

Interact with the Database : Add your own tables to the Wordpress Database, or add/update/retrieve data that's already there.
