 * Hello,
    I would like to add a box to the right of the main text box (under tags
   box) which just contains some text listing some values but I’m not sure where
   to make the changes I have looked through some of the files but cant find it.

 * In your theme’s functions.php, do something like this.
 *     ```
       include(ABSPATH.'wp-admin/includes/template.php');
       function my_meta_box($post) {
         echo 'Hi';
       }
       add_meta_box('mydiv', __('MyDiv'), 'my_meta_box', 'post', 'side', 'core');
       ```
