HOW-TO

John Kolbert of Techlyzer has produced a great screencast explaining how to create the collapsible and movable option boxes within the WordPress 2.7 write new page/post screens. The tutorial starts off by creating a dummy plugin which you then add functions to which give it the draggable/collapsible options within the Administration panel. John provides a sample plugin to use as well as a link to the article on the Codex that explains the add_meta_box function. This tutorial is mainly for those aspiring plugin authors as well as for those who would like to add this type of functionality to their own plugin.
