# Open post menu by default

 * By default, when you log into wordpress the first time and write a post, all 
   the post menu items (categories, post name, etc.) on the right side are closed.
   I’d like to have them open by default, as it seems like many people who post 
   for the first time overlook those options too easily. Can anybody tell me what
   I can do to achieve that? I assume it must be somewhere in wp-includes/js/dbx.
   js – but even after playing around for quite some time I couldn’t make it work
   properly. (I was able to keep it open by force, but that broke the closing function.)
   Any help would be appreciated!

 * On my installations they always stay as I left them last time: if I left them
   open – they will be open next time, too.

 * They do, but like I said, the problem is with people who use it for the first
   time. If they overlook them, then they will stay closed – and they will be closed
   the next time, too.
