 * hi,
 * i am currently in the process of learning to develop a WordPress plugin, and 
   after several tutorials I decided to give it a go. I have tried to inform myself
   about all the features and best practices, and in the process stumbled upon the
   new settings API following this [http://ozh.in/lp](http://ozh.in/lp) tutorial
   I have a feeling I am very close, the only problem I keep getting is when submitting
   I get an error that the page is not found. if you happen to find any other code
   that could be improved please also say so
    here is the plugin code

 * thanks in advance

 * it is solved,
    2 changes need to be made
 * 1. register hook for admin init that registers settings instead of the activation
   hook
 * 2. use the correct value for settings_fields() and, get_option()
