 * Hello Dolly does not require anything but activation to run. It writes a single
   line from the song **only** to the upper right of the Admin panel.
 * You must install plugins and then activate them the same way you activated Hello
   Dolly. You can find the names of plugins by searching the [WP Plugin Directory](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/),
   or doing a Google search for ‘wordpress plugin’ plus some feature of the plugin.
   For example ‘wordpress plugin menu’ or wordpress plugin member’.
