I am well aware of the the recommendations not to kill kittens, but until now I had just a hunch of what way to go with plugins. It was just a few week ago that I learned how to correctly mingle with a theme.
I have had one very unfortunate incident with a plugin that wasn’t up to date and our server almost got blacklisted for spamming when the plugin was abused by some evil unknown soul. After that WP project was over I happily hacked the core of the next WP-project, knowing that I at least don’t have to trust anybody else’s plugins. Now this is my fourth WP-installation I am working with and it is code wise the smallest, noone else is telling me hoe it should look like and what features there should be. So I thought that it would be great to do it right this time.
I actually managed to create my own personal plugin for my editor and hope for more support in the future if I dare take on some heavier stuff.
I am so happy Kailey that you pulled me towards the right direction giving me something that I actually understood how to use. Here is my personal output, I would love to hear what still can be made better whitin that!
