By default it randomly pulls from a list of several replacement words and phrases such as "Hello", "Welcome", and "Get to the choppa". The plugin also comes with a menu where you can limit it to "professional" sounding greetings, set a static word or phrase, or add your own list (which can be by itself or added into the default list for even more variety)! == Installation == 1. Upload the entire 'tm-replace-howdy' folder and its contents to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 3. (Optional) You may edit plugin settings through the 'Replace Howdy' menu option under 'Settings' 4. You're done! No more "Howdy"! NOTE: Replace Howdy relies on JavaScript to replace "Howdy" with a different word or phrase. If "Howdy" is not being replaced, please first check that JavaScript is enabled. == Upgrade Notice == = 1.2 = * Updated plugin to be compatible with WP 3.3 * Maintained backwards compatibility through WP 3.0 * Moved JavaScript code to separate files * JavaScript is now included using builtin WP methods = 1.1 = * Updated plugin to be compatible with the new WP 3.2 admin interface! * Maintained backwards compatibility through at least WP 3.0. * Optimized and cleaned up the code some to make it easier to read and more efficient (hopefully). == Screenshots == 1.

I have tested it on several systems and have noticed little to no difference in load times. Any heavy lifting is done after saving any changes on the settings page.
