Hello Darth Plugin

by Adam McLane on August 18, 2012 · 1 comment

I’ve always wanted to try making a WordPress plugin. And while I’ve had a bunch of ideas for very complex plugins I thought it’d be fun to start off with something ridiculously fun & simple.

So here it is, friends. Our first plugin, totally free!

Hello Darth

Download & Install from the WordPress repository

Suggestions & Support

Description

This little plugin is in homage to my geek friends who love to hate Lord Vader. When activated you will randomly see a quote from Darth Vader’s IMDB page in the upper right of your admin screen on every page.

How Does it Work?

  • After you install and activate the plugin it’s super simple.
  • All it does is add a Darth Vader quote to the top of your admin area, it’s like a subversive joke celebrating your dominance over the internet.

Future Development

Other than adding a bunch of additional Darth quotes, I’m not sure how I could improve it. But I’m open to ideas!

HT to Matt Mullenberg for the original code.

    So fun! Great way to get started in the WP plugin field. Suggestion: Needs a little vader head icon with a speech bubble wrapping around the quote.
