<p>Aren’t you irritated by the greeting on the right of the Admin Bar? By default, it greets you with a nauseating “howdy”.</p>
<p>This is the plugin to sort that issue out. This plugin changes the default greeting to “Welcome”, a greeting which combines formality with warmth. However, the plugin also provides an options page, so that users can have their own preferred greetings.</p>
<p>This plugin, and others, can be found on the plugins page of <a href="http://www.oldcastleweb.com/pws/plugins/" rel="nofollow ugc">Old Castle Web Solutions</a> (www.oldcastleweb.com).</p>
<p>Further work on this plugin should enable a general framework for all my plugins, giving them a top level menu page and sidebar entry of their own, regardless of which plugin is installed first.</p>
<h3>Arbitrary section</h3>
<p>I have no arbitrary comments to make. What’s the weather like where you are?</p>
