    I was wondering if anyone here knows how to make a wordpress plugin. I'm asking this because I wanted to create a simple plugin but will be needing a lot of help.

    Basically the plugin only really has to do 3 things:

    1- Check when the blog was installed (date) so it can work properly
    2- Do one very simple calculation
    3- last but not least display the results on a widget, or wherever the bloger would want it to go.

    Thanks
