## Description

This is not just a plugin, it symbolizes the hope and enthusiasm of an entire generation
summed up in two words sung most famously by Louis Armstrong: Hello, Dolly. When
activated you will randomly see a lyric from Hello, Dolly in the upper right of 
your admin screen on every page.

Thanks to Sanjib Ahmad for the artwork.

Hello Dolly might be simple, but it’s iconic. Every time I open my WordPress dashboard
and see a lyric from Louis Armstrong’s “Hello, Dolly!” it’s a small reminder of 
WordPress’s roots — creativity, simplicity, and a touch of joy. It doesn’t do much,
and that’s the beauty of it. It’s a little piece of nostalgia that connects every
WordPress user to the spirit of open-source community and fun. Thanks for keeping
this classic alive!

### 󠀁[Nice Biolerplate code plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-biolerplate-code-plugin/)󠁿

Even many people give a lot of hate to this plugin, they should not! This plugin
is not something that it’s useful your site operations, but it’s a nice boilerplate
for people that they want to start building plugins for WordPress. It shows that
you don’t need to write so much code to customize something in your WordPress app.
It introduces the wptexturize function the get_user_locale, the admin_notices action
hook and the admin_head action hook too. Yes it’s not the mode elegant thing that
comes. But it can be educational for beginners
