<p>With this plugin you can edit sidebar contents like posts in the admin area and assign them from a dropdown menu to any post or page. It supports flexible dropping via widget for independent theme association.</p>
<p>It’s a matter of fact that people don’t want to code when they just want to change their contents. To keep a website interesting for visitors you can change the sidebar contents in context to the main content. Before you could realize it with different sidebar templates or conditional tags.<br />
Now you can do all these great things inside the admin area without any coding.<br />
Any anyway: Since we organize informations in databases all contents should be stored there as well.</p>
<p>From a dropdown menu you can easily choose all sidebars you have created.</p>
