 * This is probably a basic question for most of you plugin programmers out there,
   but I’m a wordpress plugin noobie, and I can’t seem to Google my way out of this
   problem.
 * How do I use the wordpress path variable in a plugin? I’m looking for something
   like “stylesheet_directory” or “template_directory” but for the plugin. Whatever
   I try, it seems to end up being blank. Do I have to include a specific wordpress
   file at the top of the plugin or something?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * For those who have the same question, use this:
 * get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’)

 * I figured it out from the tutorial here:
