 * I would like to embed an image in my plugin (widget). The image resides in the
   plugin folder (wp-content/plugins/myplugin/image.gif). How can I reference the
   image from within my plugin without hardcoding the path?
 * Is there something like `get_plugin_directory()`?
 * Thank you,
    Dennis

 * Typical ways to accomplish this:
 * `ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/``_myplugin/image.gif_``'`
 * ABSPATH is a WP constant that provides the full _directory_ path to the (WordPress)
   installation directory.
 * For providing the url, you could use:
 * `get_settings('siteurl') . '/wp-content/plugins/``_myplugin/image.gif_``'`

 * i did this 🙂
    `define('PLUGINPATH', ABSPATH.'wp-content/plugins/myplugin');`
 * and this,
 * `define('PLUGINLINK', get_settings('siteurl') . 'wp-content/plugins/wpajax/');`
