## Description

Adds Cornify (cornify.com) to your WordPress. After five seconds of inactivity the
site will show unicorns
 to the visitor until they interact with the site again.
This was developed primarily as an April fools joke.

## Screenshots

## Installation

Just activate the plugin and if you don’t interact with your site you should see
unicorns. There is no control panel, at least for the moment.
 See FAQ for manual
options. When you’re done with it and had enough, just deactivate it.

## FAQ

  The plugin doesn’t seem to work. Do I need anything special in my theme?

Yes, your theme must have a call to `php wp_footer(); ?>` at the very bottom right
before the “ tag.

  Can I change the interval of the unicorns?

Yes, you can change `var idol_time = 5000;` in `js/cornify.js` to the number of (
milli)seconds you would like before unicorns start showing up.

Never hurts to engage your visitors in a fun way! See if it has any effect on your
bounce rate, or just use it as a prank. 😉

You put all this hard work into your website. You toil for hours to update your 
SEO and make sure people can find the valuable information you have to share. You
research latest design trends and make your place as hospitable as possible. But
then people visit it and don’t pay attention – what the hay?! That’s where the Cornify
plugin comes in. People walk through your doors, and if their attention begins to
wander, they’re slammed with a sea of unicorns. They have to figure out – “Is it
me, or is it my computer?” “What was in my coffee this morning?” It doesn’t stop
there. If they keep ignoring your valuable work, all the text turns into Comic Sans,
just to make sure they feel the same pain you do. Cornify Plugin – it’s your prerogative.
