A look at what you're building

- [Instructor] In this chapter, we're going to build out a demo plugin that lets us do a couple of things. For starters, we're going to add a custom widget area, back here to our WordPress admin, that we could therefore use any of these available widgets in, and then we're going to display whatever the contents of that widget are on our single posts. Not pages, just posts. So we're going to register a widget area, we're going to display it, and we're also going to add some custom styles. At the end of this, we'll have worked with several WordPress hooks, including both action hooks and filter hooks, and we're going to create our own filter that someone else could use in our plugin. Let's get started.
