WordPress Crusher
Ok, if you know me, then by now you’re aware of my being a total WP fanboi. Something like being a Mac fanboi, but not quite as bad.
Anyhoo…the point of this post is that I found a pretty nifty tutorial on creating WP plugins that I thought was worth sharing.
Head over to the wordpresscrusher site to get your paws on it!!! No, it’s not free, but it’s well worth the money. You get sample code, pdf tutorial and videos explaining how you can make your own plugins, for use on your own site, or even for sale.
