 * Hi,
 *  I have little experince with wordpress plugins and widgets and can;t seem to
   figure out how to add an app that i wrote in php to my new wordpress site. This
   app allows me to add each book in my collection to the database. You can add 
   a book, edit, see all, delete and each book has a name, author, etc. I have written
   this in php and it works without wordpress.
 *  I want to add it to wordpress. When I log into my site I want to be able to 
   see it under my dashboard. For example, above “Posts” there should be “Books”(
   sub menu “Add New”, “Edit”, etc.) and when I click on the submenu links the code
   that I already wrote should show up to the right.
 *  Also, I guess I will need a widget or something to actually show the books on
   my site but I will worry about that later.
 *  I don’t know how to convert my code into a plugin/widget.
 *  Does anyone have any idea on how to do this or can point me in the right direction?
 * Thanks

 * Ambal13 – Try posting a description of this project at [http://jobs.wordpress.net](http://jobs.wordpress.net).
   There are a lot of experienced developers there who can either set things up 
   for you or at least get you started.
