## Description

This simple plugin is designed primarily for sites that are using WordPress as a
content management system, however it can be extremely useful for both. If you are
using a more complex WordPress install and theme you are likely to end up with a
long list of dialog boxes on the edit pages to manage the different elements of 
your site. This can be a usability problem for two reasons, one being that a client
may not know they have control over an element because it will be hidden way down
the page. Additionally you can get to a point where you have to scroll way down 
and up to make changes and then publish the site.

This is especially true if you are using CMS plug-ins like PODS or Flutter.

I am currently working on finding a way to better work around moving meta boxes 
into the right hand column. Currently doing so will still give it the behavior of
being a tabbed content area until you reload the edit page. IE: It will still show/
hide the content and the tab will still appear in the menu as well. Any suggestions
on the logic / behavior would be greatly appreciated as I am somewhat stumped at
this point.

Changes

1.75 – Improved the styling of the tabs. Improved the handling with hidden / disabled
fields. Fixed javascript conflicts for drag and drop menus in WordPress 3.0

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * Rather than having all the meta boxes listed vertically you now get one active
   and a javascript menu to show / hide boxes when clicked on.

## Installation

To install, simply:

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