Welcome to the newly redesigned SpinSpire.com. It was on Drupal and it is still on Drupal, only better. We here at SpinSpire believe in eating our own dogfood. So we re-built our own site the way we would (re)build a client's site.

Writing plugins for Wordpress may seem like a daunting task if you're new to Wordpress. But all it takes is a good starting point to get the ball rolling. Today I'll show you how to get started with your first simple Wordpress plugin. For this example, we will be making a plugin that automatically adds an image to all new posts.

First, you will need to make the appropriate directories and files. In your /wp-content/plugins/ directory, make a new folder with your desired plugin name, and a .php file with the same name.
