## Description

numly Numbers was born from a very old plugin called wp-numly which was originally
called wp-esbn that was
 coded by Cal Evans. But over the years his plugin stopped
working and he no longer worked on it. I took the old plugin and chopped out what
wasn’t needed and fixed what was broken which gave birth to numly Numbers.

Electronic Standard Number (numly) is the unique identifier of electronic content
and media. numlys are
 recognized worldwide by electronic publishing companies and
electronic content providers. They serve as branded identifier or copyright for 
individuals or companies developing electronic content and media. numlys are assigned
and managed by [numly.com](http://www.numly.com).

The plugin registers your copyright with Numly and returns the Numly Number (electronic
serial number), barcode,
 and verification links to your blog post automatically.

I hope you enjoy numly numbers as much as I do.

 1. Copy the entire folder numly-numbers/ into wp-content/plugins/ folder on your blog.
 2. Activate the plugin by going to your blog’s Plugin tab and clicking Activate.
 3. Then go to the Settings menu and you’ll see numly numbers listed. Enter your numly
    username, chose the license you want to use, and whether you want to show the barcode
    or not.
 4. Some where in the post loop such as in the single.php page paste the following 
    where you want it to show `<?php if (function_exists('numly_output')) _e('<strong
