Easy Columns provides the shortcodes to create a grid system or magazine style columns for laying out your pages (or even posts!) just the way you need them.

== Description ==

= What is Easy Columns? =
Easy Columns provides the shortcodes to create a grid system or magazine style columns for laying out your pages or posts on demand.

= Available Columns =
Using the shortcodes, you can get any combination of 1/4, 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 3/4, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5 and 4/5 columns. You can insert <strong>at least thirty</strong> unique variations of columns on any page or post.

= Easy to Use =
Quickly add columns to your pages from the editor with an easy to use "pick n' click" interface. BEst of all, Easy Columns works with ANY theme!

= Example =
To create content with 3 columns, you would use the shortcodes like this:

[ezcol_1third]this is column 1[/ezcol_1third]
[ezcol_1third]this is column 2[/ezcol_1third]
[ezcol_1third_end]this is column 3[/ezcol_1third_end]

The result are 3 columns about 33% in width of their container.

== Installation ==

1. Upload `wp-ez-columns` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. You can customize your columns in the settings menu under Settings > Easy Columns
4. Use any of the following shortcodes in your posts or pages:
   Available Shortcodes:

   = 1/4 columns =
   [ezcol_1quarter id="" class="" style=""][/ezcol_1quarter]
   [ezcol_1quarter_end id="" class="" style=""][/ezcol_1quarter_end]

   = 1/2 columns =
   [ezcol_1half id="" class="" style=""][/ezcol_1half]
   [ezcol_1half_end id="" class="" style=""][/ezcol_1half_end]

   = 3/4 columns =

   [ezcol_4fifth_end id="" class="" style=""][/ezcol_4fifth_end]

   = Special columns =
   [ezdiv id="" class="" style=""][/ezdiv]
   (easily create DIVs in your content without editing HTML)

   = Additional shortcodes =
   [ezcol_divider] (clears all floats and creates a 2px high, 100% width div)
   [ezcol_end_left] (clears left float)
   [ezcol_end_right] (clears right float)
   [ezcol_end_both] (clears both)

   **Be sure to insert the "_end" column shortcode for your last column!**

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is This Plugin Supported? =
Yes. Just send an email, and I'd be happy to help

= How can I customize the columns? =
You can edit the wp-ez-columns.css file to customize the layouts. Be sure to back up the CSS before testing!

= Can I put anything in the columns? =
Yes, as long as the content isn't larger than the column, otherwise the CSS will break and cause line breaks.

= What good are columns? =
Columns can be used in CMS layouts, as feature boxes, in magazine layouts and **squeeze page layouts** - it's only limited by your imagination.

= Can You Create a Pro Version With Multiple Column Styles? =
Maybe! If you want that feature, send me an email. I get enough emails and I'll do it!
