## Description

This is a fork / modification of the original ‘Hello Dolly’ plugin. Only instead
of those quotes, I’ve included random funny quotes (mainly from twitter). Clearly
not earth-shattering, but fun none the less. Please note that the original ‘Hello
Dolly’ plugin is not required (or encouraged, for that matter).

### Potential Enhancements

Umm….more funny? Drop me a line and tell me if you wanna see something

## Screenshots

 * An example of how a quote will appear. This isn’t rocket science, people.

## Installation

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

 1. Upload the ‘get-snarky’ folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. That’s it.

New in 1.4: Also includes a sidebar widget if you want to share with the world. 
But don’t blame me if your mother sees it and starts asking questions.

## FAQ

  What does this do?

It displays random snarky comments in the top right corner of the admin panel that
I’ve either read online or said myself.

  Can I display these on my site?

Sure. Not sure why you’d want to, but go ahead. There is a built-in widget, and 
also a template tag. The quotes can also be called any place in your theme with 
the `<?php do_action('snarky_display'); ?>` template tag.

  Is that it?

Yep. That’s it.
