## Description

This plugin simply adds a graphical display, showing who the target demographic (
i.e. audience) is. In other words,
 display graphically, whether your article is
geared towards Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Experts, or Gurus Users.

### Short Description

Allows authors to visually let the readers know the level of text (novice, intermediate,
advanced, experts, or gurus)

### I wanna learn how to develop plugins!!

Glad to know, that you would like to learn! You can actually go to the following
site: [GuidesForge]
 (http://www.guidesforge.com/how-to/wordpress-how-to/developing-
your-first-wordpress-plugin-for-wordpress-27-a-step-by-step-guide) As the title 
link suggests, you will be walked-through the steps in order to create a Plugin 
for WordPress 2.7. For this particular guide I have detailed out a plugin that I
wrote called “Content-Icons”. I go through each step and show exactly how one should
go about developing plugins for WordPress 2.7.

### Future Work

 1. Please direct all your ‘feature requests’ at the Plugin Home Page
 2. In the future version, I am planning on adding Internationalization support
     So,
    if someone can help with translations, that would be great!
 3. Also, I am planning on adding: Custom Background/Font color etc. (basically Custom
    CSS Options)
 4. Other features… Stay Tuned! :p
