comment How do I add a favicon that only shows during viewing of my plugin's admin panel?
I just ran a test -- it does it to ALL admin pages, not just the ones for my plugin.

comment how do I filter single_cat_title to remove all instances of a particlular word
Related on this is that you can use wp_list_categories and pass it the 'echo=0' parameter. This lets you export into a string. You can then use PHP's str_replace() function on that string to replace what you want before you echo it back. This isn't exactly what you're looking for in your case, but is similar and may help others.

comment How can I list URLs of all audio files within my media gallery?
I used this to check for 'video' instead of 'audio' in my case and it worked great. I could then look at the $url to filter out (using PHP's continue statement) any file extensions that I didn't want to show, such as only showing FLV files in a popdown listboxes, rather than all video types.

comment How Do I Make WordPress Run an Event Every Day?
Okay, so basically WordPress's built-in cron (not the one you can hook up separately through a cron job) is kind of a "hopeful cron", as in it hopes someone visits the site so that the cron runs. And it doesn't appear that sites get pinged back daily unless you set something up (like a Google Alert) to do that. Right? I mean, there's nothing in the WP code that asks Automattic or WordPress.org to ping it once a day, right?

comment On Plugin Activation, How Do I Check for Proper Transport Mechanism?
However, the real question is that I just want a quick way to test for the chance of failure with wp_remote_post() because none of the transport mechanisms might not be enabled. Checking simply for Curl stuff just won't cut it.

Yeah, I found in this case that die() rather than wp_die() is better if done on plugin activation. But anyway, wp_remote_post doesn't always use Curl. On some hosts, curl_exec() is disabled, yet file_get_contents() or fopen() with a remote host may be enabled.

comment How Do I Load My Action Earlier Enough?
From what I can tell from this debug-bar plugin, the plugins_loaded event is the best place to run what I was trying to do -- it runs before init.
