    Hi,

    Basically, I want to create a plugin with textarea options like:

    Welcome Message:
    [Textarea]

    Thank you message:
    [Textarea]

    [Submit]

    The output that can be putted on the theme would be, $welcome_message; and $thankyou_message;

    Another thing, if its possible for that textareas to be the tinymce editor of wordpress..

    Please help.
    Thank you.

    You want the Settings API. Do a Google search for "wordpress settings api tutorial" and you should be able to find good step-by-step instructions on adding this to your theme. Here is one such source:

    As for using TinyMCE for your textareas, the answer is yes, you can do that. However, I've never needed to do such a thing for any of my projects. But maybe this will help:
