 * We have a new WordPress site, and it is amazing how much we can do with so little
   code. We have a few areas where we need to access a web service or database to
   display some data in a custom list. In my Custom App Dev role, that is pretty
   straight forward, and it looks like I can modify the php to get and dispay the
   data that I want. I am worried that the next time our marketing folks modify 
   some content that any custom work that I have done would get wiped out. Seems
   to me that the best way to handle displaying custom data is to create my own 
   custom plug in. Is that the best way to go to display some custom list data, 
   and be protected from getting the code wiped out? Thoughts?
 * I have been trying to read up and research this question yesterday and today,
   but I can’t find a good answer. I apologize for asking such a basic question.

 * Yes your so right. That’s the best way to keep your codes. It will not be affected
   by updates either.
