WordPress.org

The Sliding Panel plugin adds a panel that opens and closes to the top of your WordPress-powered blog. If you're in need of an area to house more content yet not get in the way, this is the ideal plugin.

The plugin is built off the wonderful jQuery library and is fully widgetized, so you can add any content you want. If you want a login form. Add it. If you want welcome text. No problem. Category list? You're covered.

This plugin is for WordPress 2.8+ only.

Features

• Uses widgets, so you can add pretty much anything.
• Uses the WordPress-packaged jQuery.
• Will auto-insert itself into the Hybrid, Thematic, and Prodigy WordPress themes.
• Easy style-override system.

Full instructions for use can be found in the plugin's readme.html file, which is included with the plugin download.
