The Nine Rules

by Brian Gilham on October 11, 2006

Eager to one day join 9rules? Follow the actual nine rules religiously? Why not download The Nine Rules plugin and bring that inspiration right into your Wordpress install?

The Nine Rules is a simple little plugin — made up of code from Matt Mullenweg, inspiration from the 9rules crew, and a little bit of my own magic thrown in on top. Once activated, it will randomly display a new “rule” on each page of your Wordpress dashboard, coloured using one of the eight colours found in the famous 9rules leaf.

It’s a great way to visually remind yourself why you blog, and have a little fun at the same time. What are you waiting for? Go check it out! As always, comments and suggestions are encouraged. If you are using the plugin on your site, let me know! I love to hear when people are using my work.

That’s sweet Brian, a little bit of inspiration everytime I login to my dashboard!

Glad you like it, Ian. I’d been using a more basic version of the plugin for a couple of months before I finally decided to clean it up, add the colours, and release it for everyone to enjoy. According to my stats, it’s been downloaded about 40 times now, so I hope others are enjoying it as well.

GREAT! I am just getting started with WP and this was great. What a great philosophy on life. Is there anyway to add this as a sidebar widget? Thanks for the inspiration. dte

That’s a great idea, diesel. I’ll add it to my list of things to look into working on.
