# Suggestions for writing flexible and usable plugin

After the release of *Custom Function Widgets* plugin I also wrote about it in the WordPress support forum. Fellow forum contributor [Otto42 ](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/71962 "His WordPress forum profile")(author of a very similar plugin: [ExecPHP](http://ottodestruct.com/blog/2006/04/09/fun-with-widgets/ "WordPress plugin ExecPHP by Otto")) had very interesting things to say regarding the plugin development in general. Really worth [reading and discussing](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/155304 "Read the discussion in WordPress forum").
