 * I am pretty new when it comes to plugins, I have modified and built a handful
   of plugins but nothing to crazy.
    I have an idea for a plugin but am not sure
   where to start, if anyone has a link to a tutorial or a similar plugin, it would
   be appreciated.
 * My basic need is this,
    A wordpress page with a custom template that has a table
   listing hyperlinks.
 * Sounds easy, but what I am wanting to do on the ADMIN side is to a options page
   where a novice user (read knows no html at all) sees 2 input fields, one for 
   the link text/title, and one for the hyperlink itself, a submit button, an “add
   another entry” button, and a button to delete a a listing. Add another entry 
   would bring up a new pair of inputs with a delete button next to it.
 * The goal here is so a novice can maintain a list of links in a form driven way.
 * It seems simple, but it is outside the scope of the plugin tutorials I have found.

 * Why not use the built in links, add them to a certain category? Then write a 
   small shortcode to include that category of links within the page.

 * Keeping it short: there is no user-friendlier option in wordpress to do that 
   except using the
 * > default bookmarks
 *  OR **custom post fields**.
