I added a sliding panel to my site at Theme Hybrid. After numerous requests for the code, I thought it'd be best to package it up as a plugin and share with the community.
It adds a panel that opens and closes at the top of the site. This allows users to easily add additional information without crowding the rest of their theme.
If you're using the Hybrid, Thematic, or Prodigy WordPress theme, you only need to add widgets to the Sliding Panel widget area.
If not using one of those themes, you need to add this code after the opening <body> tag in your theme's header.php file:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_sliding_panel' ) ) get_sliding_panel(); ?>
Full instructions are located in the plugin's readme.html file.
