    It might be better if you create a configuration option in the plugin to enter the user id rather than requiring people to edit the code. Either way, nice work!

    Nice plugin. I do have some suggestions for improvement, though:

    1. Let the user set their User Id in the administrative area.
    2. Screen scrape the user’s favorite page to get the links to favorite questions rather than displaying them in an iFrame.

    I’m a WordPress plugin developer by trade so I might be able to help you. Shoot me an email if you’d like.
