I would like to mention that this being my first plugin, it is heavily based on Matt Mullenweg’s Hello Dolly plugin. The facts are taken from Wikipedia and I’m planning to add more to the list soon.
This plugin ensures that all users who utilize this plugin can be updated with facts about WordPress.

Facts about WordPress

Here is a short description of the plugin.

Factoid allows you to place interesting, amusing and inspiring little random facts and quotes on your WordPress website through both shortcodes (for inserting into posts and pages) and widgets (for inserting into sidebars and other layout elements). Factoid allows you to select the type and category of Factoid you’d like displayed, and also provides a number of display and layout options. Factoids are fetched across the internet from our extensive and constantly growing database.
