In the last post we setup the plugin and activated it in the admin. In this post we will setup the plugin as a class and create a basic admin menu. The idea of writing the plugin as a class came from the popular how-to series at devlounge. Please check them out for more info as I use their ideas frequently in this post.

I have been using WordPress on a number of my sites for some time now and thought it would be interesting to begin developing some of my own plugins. I also wanted a chance to experiment with thejQuery Javascript library as I haven’t had a chance to do a lot with it yet. I stumbled upon a theme called Fusion that had some AJAX features I really liked. This theme is by digitalnature. Although I do like this theme, I like some of the base features of the K2 theme and have used that theme as a starting point for a few of my websites.

This presented a great opportunity to take some of the AJAX features I liked and turn them into WordPress plugins that I could use on different sites and with different themes. I have decided to create a series of posts on how I developed the elasticFonts plugin from start to finish. I hope that the reader finds this tutorial useful.
