This is a WordPress plugin created to redirect to a given page on a particular day. Let’s say you want certain information to be available on a certain day, like a list of events. Users could go to http://yoursite.com/events, which would then redirect to http://yoursite.com/events/day, where [day] is obviously “monday”, “tuesday” etc, depending on what day of the week it is.

There may already be more elegant solutions to this problem, but I wanted to build a WordPress plugin from scratch, rather than adapting an existing one. The much more efficient shortcodes system implemented in WordPres 2.5 (better than lots of plugins performing a find and replace or regular expression check) makes this really easy.
