FAQ
Did you make the flash-thing?
No, the flash object was made available by United Feature Syndicate. I just made the WordPress implementation. Silly UFS forgot all about WordPress.
The flash object can be found on http://widget.dilbert.com/
The flash object comes with its own Terms of Use.
The license of UFS is included in the plug-in source.
How do I modify the style of the widget in the sidebar?
Like any widget in your sidebar you can modify presentation by using the ID “dilbert”. Modify the style.css in your active template:
li#dilbert { /* your css directives here, eg: “text-align: center;” */ }
How come in step 2 ‘grf-dilbert’ is already in the activated plugins?
Because you were doing an upgrade and forgot to disable the plugin before you did so, you naughty boy/girl.
This plugin is cool, can you make something similar for …?
If you have requests feel free to mail them to me (contact me through my blog: http://www.greftek.net/blog).
Please do take into account that a comic needs to have some sort of feed in order to make such a plugin. It can be done without a feed (with scraping), but such a technique is high maintenance and prone to breaking. Aside from that not every artist appreciates such methods, so I don’t make them.
