## Description

This plugin easily integrates Genesis column classes into your WordPress editor.
With the click of a button, you can now add column class shortcodes to your page
or post. You will no longer have to know any HTML or CSS. Use the power of the built
in Genesis column classes, with the simple click of a button.

Includes 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 column classes.

**Not a Genesis User, I have included the necessary CSS within the plugin. You can
activate the optional CSS via Settings > Easy Columns or simply copy/paste into 
your themes style.css.**

Code 96 offers [WordPress Design](http://www.code96wd.com) services and custom [WordPress Themes](http://www.code96wd.com/premium-wordpress-themes/).

## FAQ

  Installation Instructions

 1. Upload the zip file to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Non-Genesis users may activate the optional css via Settings > Easy Columns.

  Where are the column buttons?

The easy insert buttons are located in your WordPress editor. They will be visible
within the text editor when creating or editing a page or post.

  The columns are not formatting?

Version 1.1 added an option for non-Genesis users to add the optional CSS via Settings
> Easy Columns. You must have the necessary CSS to format the columns. Genesis users
should have this in your styles.css. Non-Genesis users should convert, but if you
want to stick with your current theme- simply use the optional CSS loacted in the
plugin directory and add it to your themes CSS.
