 * I have created a custom plugin called “HomeRotateText” and I was successfuly 
   able to activate it. I then opened an existing page called “test” and added the
   following code:
 * <?php
    HomeRotateText(); ?>
 * When the test page displays it shows up the following text:
    HomeRotateText();?
   >
 * What have I done wrong? The contents of my file HomeRotateText is:
 * <?php
 * /*
    Plugin Name: HomeRotateText Plugin URI: [http://www.bserv.com](http://www.bserv.com)
   Description: Displays Random Text on Home Page. Version: 1.0 Author: BNS License:
   GPL1 */
 * function HomeRotateText()
    { echo “ROTATING TEXT”; } ?>
