 * I would like to create an menu for a plugin I am developing. So far I have followed
   examples in books but have got nothing to work. I just want a simple tag on the
   wordpress dashboard with Settings and Application below it – can anybody point
   me in the right direction.

 * Hi,
 * I think you can start by looking at any other plugin that has an entry in the
   admin dashboard. I looked into Contact Form 7 (File: `admin/admin.php`) and it
   might just do what you wanted.

 * Hello ,
 * add_menu_page function will help you to get your plugin name to wp admin menu
