## Description

_Hybrid Hook Widgets_ is a plugin that creates new widget areas for the [Hybrid theme](http://themehybrid.com/themes/hybrid)
and attaches them to the theme’s action hooks. Basically, it allows you to add widgets
pretty much anywhere.

Typically, to add extra stuff to the theme, you must use one of _Hybrid’s_ action
hooks. This can be quite confusing to some users. This plugin was created mainly
for those users without much XHTML and PHP knowledge. It allows them to take advantage
of _Hybrid’s_ advanced hook system without the need to understand how it works. 
Of course, even advanced users can take advantage of this, especially when dealing
with client work.

This plugin is for **WordPress 2.8+ only**.

You must have the [Hybrid theme](http://themehybrid.com/themes/hybrid) installed
to use it.

Full instructions for use can be found in the plugin’s `readme.html` file, which
is included with the plugin download.

## Installation

 1. Upload `hybrid-hook-widgets.zip` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the _Plugins_ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to your _Widgets_ panel and add widgets to the new widget area.

More detailed instructions can be found in the plugin’s `readme.html` file.

## FAQ

  Why create this plugin?

Many users don’t understand how to use action hooks from a child theme. PHP might
not be their thing. I wanted these users to be able to easily take advantage of 
some of _Hybrid’s_ more advanced features without having to learn how to code.

  What does this plugin do, exactly?

It creates 11 new widget areas that _hook_ into various parts of the theme. This
allows users to add widgets virtually anywhere.

  What widgets areas are available?

Aside from _Hybrid’s_ many default widget areas, you’ll get 11 new ones:

 * Hook: Before HTML
 * Hook: After HTML
 * Hook: Before Header
 * Hook: Header
 * Hook: After Header
 * Hook: Before Container
 * Hook: After Container
 * Hook: Before Footer
 * Hook: Footer
 * Hook: Before HTML
 * Hook: Comment Form

  I don’t understand any of this. What should I do?

You should do a little reading. The `readme.html` file included with the plugin 
has links to tons of resources. Everything you need to know is there.
