 * So I’ve been poking around the codex and tinkering a bit with plugins. What I
   want to do is simple:
    - Create a function that displays a form
    - Display it on it’s own page using the theme’s header and footer
    - Accessible by guests
    - Post to the same page or another and display results of the post
 * I see there are hooks to add stuff into an admin area but how do I create a new
   page (not a post) that hooks into a custom controller / form handler that I write
   inside of a plugin, display of the form for that specific page and also react
   to handle the submit data?
 * Once I can understand how this works, I will be able to integrate my custom development(
   yay)!
 * Any hints would really help! Thanks!

 * Ok I think the way this might be handled is that you create a plugin, activate
   it, bind a method to filter “the_content”, in that method check for the uri, 
   page title or whatever and then once it’s found, echo out the content (ie form,
   etc).
 * Seems to work so far..
 * Thanks me!
