When you use this code in your plugin, it will add a ‘Settings’ link to your plugin’s listing under ‘Plugins’. The link will take you to the plugin’s options page.
The benefit of the plugin action link is that users see it immediately after they activate the plugin, thus adding to the overall experience.

This can be useful as it gives you some leeway to re-read the live post and make any minor changes before it goes to the RSS feeds. Using this hack you can also keep content exclusive to your site for a day or a week before pushing it out to your RSS readers.
