This plug-in adds a Daily Dilbert Comic widget to the Sidebar Arrangement page, which can be added in the normal fashion. Just drag-n-drop the widget into the sidebar to add it to your blog.<\/p>\n\n

Click on the options button to add a custom title.<\/p>\n\n\n

In order to get this puppy to work follow the steps described here:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Uncompress the downloaded archive in [WordPress install root]\/wp-content\/plugins.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin in your WordPress plugins control panel. The plugin should show up as 'grf-Dilbert' in the list of inactive plugins. Just click the 'Activate'-link on the right.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to the \"Appearance\" section, and select the \"Widgets\"-subsection.<\/li>\n
  4. Add the \"The Daily Dilbert\"-widget to the sidebar. Do this by clicking on 'Add'-link behind the item named 'The Daily Dilbert'.<\/li>\n
  5. Position the widget within the sidebar. You can simply do this by dragging the 'The Daily Dilbert'-entry on the right side of the panel and and dropping it between the other widgets where you want to have it positioned.<\/li>\n
  6. If desired, enter a custom widget title by selecting the \"Configure\"-button and changing the title.<\/li>\n
  7. Click on the \"Save Changes\"-button on the page. <\/li>\n
  8. Edit your styles.css of your active template to tweak the presentation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    Did you make the flash-thing?<\/dt>\n

    No, the flash object was made available by United Feature Syndicate. I just made the Wordpress implementation. Silly UFS forgot all about Wordpress.<\/p>\n\n

    The flash object can be found on http:\/\/widget.dilbert.com\/<\/p>\n\n

    The flash object comes with its own Terms of Use<\/a>. \nThe license of UFS is included in the plug-in source.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How do I modify the style of the widget in the sidebar?<\/dt>\n

    Like any widget in your sidebar you can modify presentation by using the ID \"dilbert\". Modify the style.css in your active template:<\/p>\n\n

    \n

    li#dilbert { \/* your css directives here, eg: \"text-align: center;\" *\/ }<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/dd>\n

    How come in step 2 'grf-dilbert' is already in the activated plugins?<\/dt>\n

    Because you were doing an upgrade and forgot to disable the plugin before you did so, you naughty boy\/girl.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    This plugin is cool, can you make something similar for ...?<\/dt>\n

    If you have requests feel free to mail them to me (contact me through my blog: http:\/\/www.greftek.net\/blog).<\/p>\n\n

    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.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
