Summary of this Tutorial:

Start by installing and activating the Pluginception plugin.

This will add a new section in your Plugin area called New Plugin.

Go to Plugins, New Plugin to start your creation process.

Add the plugin’s information and create a blank plugin and activate it.

This will add your new plugin along with all of the other plugins.

You can add the functionality (if you know the code) to your site.

If your code does not work the plugin will deactivate it to protect your site.

After you have finished your plugin it will be a standalone plugin.
