DilbertThe Daily Dilbert Wordpress widget is a Wordpress implementation of the Dilbert daily comic strip widget as published by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

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.

Compatibility

This plug-in has been tested to work with Wordpress version 2.7.3.

Download

Download The Daily Dilbert Wordpress widget version 1.0.2

Installation

To install the widget on your Wordpress blog follow the following steps:

  1. Uncompress the downloaded archive in /wp-content/plugins.
  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.
  3. Go to the “Appearance” section, and select the “Widgets”-subsection.
  4. Add the “The Daily Dilbert”-widget to the sidebar. Do this by clicking on ‘Add’-link behind the item named ‘The Daily Dilbert’.
  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.
  6. If desired, enter a custom widget title by selecting the “Configure”-button and changing the title.
  7. Click on the “Save Changes”-button on the page.
  8. Edit your styles.css of your active template to tweak the presentation.

This plug-in is ludicrously simple, so I do not expect you to run into any problems. However if you have some issues with it, please leave a post and I will have a look at it. Suggestions on improvement are welcome as well. ;)
