api - Creating a plugin architecture in c++ -

i have create plugin architecture in c++ , don't have much of thought how start. should have plugin-manager should allow user select desired plugin. read article on dr. dobbs didn't find quite useful, since dont have much programming experience. can give me tips, or maybe code examples? in advance!

i suggest thinking through couple of key concepts first:

when wish load plugins? during programme startup or dynamically within? plugins loaded based on configuration file, or directory contents, or "per programme session"? what's format of plugins? dynamic libraries using prepared api or simple scripts?
