 * I am wondering if anyone knows of any good plugins or a way for me to allow my
   clients to use columns to split up content on their pages.
 * Here is the issue, I know how to use short code and use it all the time for columns
   and other items. They are not code people and I am trying to make this as simple
   as possible for them to separate out their content in a nice way.
 * Thoughts or suggestions?

 * there are also plugins that add WYSIWYG areas that you can add in your templates

 * well you could probably use something that creates custom meta boxes like

 * There is a simple user interface, no need for coding. 😉
