The random babbling of Mark “Phunky” Harwood
Right Idea, Wrong Platform
9Jul2007 Filed under: Technology Author: PhunkyAbout 2 years ago I released a kewl little WordPress Plugin called Simpsons Quotes, it was quite a popular little plugin the even found its way on to Digg which at the time i didnt really know too much about as im not into the whole Social Bloggin side of the web 
Anyway Claire was messing about with Facebook as she normally does on a Sunday afternoon when she stumbled apon a funny little app called “Simpson Quotes” which just so happened to look just like my version of the same plugin i laid to rest a long time ago.
So it would seem my popular idea is even more sought after in 2007 with the whole spy on your friends and foes nature of Facebook.
Gutted!

It wouldn’t surprise me if it did work with the new WordPress I mean it was only a simple little bit of PHP.
I may just re-release it if i get enough of a response for it

hey, i found out my problem… it wasn’t your plugin. i was trying to use it in a text box widget. which i now realize only work with plain text, html, or java-script. so i got a cool widget from: (http://ottodestruct.com/blog/2006/04/09/fun-with-widgets/) that supports running of PHP in widget boxes. Now it works like a charm
