## Description

Have you ever launched a website with search engines blocked because you forgot 
to switch the privacy settings in your dev environment?

This plugin was developed to remind me to do that. Privacy Notice simply adds a 
notice in the admin bar if search engines are not enabled. This plugin helps you
check yo’self before you wreck yo’self. If the label is orange, change it before
you launch that site!

If you’ve turned search engines on, the notice goes away entirely. Never to bother
you again if you haven’t deactivated.

There are no settings, and it doesn’t modify your database.

### Arbitrary section

You may provide arbitrary sections, in the same format as the ones above. This may
be of use for extremely complicated
 plugins where more information needs to be 
conveyed that doesn’t fit into the categories of “description” or “installation.”
Arbitrary sections will be shown below the built-in sections outlined above.

## Installation

 1. Upload `privacy-notice` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

  Doesn’t this plugin do anything else?

Nope. That’s all.

  Doesn’t it seem like a lot to install a plugin just for this purpose?

Not when you’ve forgotten about this more than once.

  I don’t get it.

Then you probably don’t need this plugin, go [do something fun](http://canvasrider.com/).
