Thanks Special thanks to: Pippin Williamson for his love-it plugin tutorial; it was the original inspiration for this plugin a couple of years back. I’d used it as the basis for some custom plugin work but then, when I started my blog, I determined I wanted a very specific set of functionality incorporated into a single plugin, hence what you’re looking at now. Tom McFarlin for creating the WordPress Widget Boilerplate and he and Devin Vinson for the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate Jason Frame’s magical Tipsy jQuery plugin for creating tooltips Tom’s great Lightweight Social Icons plugin which helped me considerably when attempting to figure out how to use icons with Fontello Peter Coles for the superb callout box CSS John Blackbourn and Frank Prendergast for their LinkedIn Share Button plugin which helped with positioning the buttons on the page All of the generous people who’ve asked “stupid” questions (so I didn’t have to ask the same ones) about how certain things work in WordPress, and then took the time to share what they’ve learned!
