The Mojo Sliding Widget 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.

I found a 0.1 version of this plugin after trying to code one from exactly the same tutorial. After battling with jQuery conflicts I found this one. However it lacked all the visual style of the original tutorial which is what I really wanted so I decided to make the changes do some tidy up work and republish.

Based upon the original Sliding Panel by [Justin Tadlock] (http://justintadlock.com "Justin Tadlock")

The original idea for this plugin came from Web Kreation, but the plugin has been coded from the ground up to work with many themes, handle widgets, and work along with the version of jQuery packaged with WordPress.
