## Description

Shadow Screen Options is used in a multisite environment to allow blog-specific 
screen layout options
 for users. Blogs on which it is not active will share user-
set preferences (the default WordPress behavior).

This is most useful in situations where users have several blogs, and have different
sets of plugins
 active on each blog.

### Credits

Development funded, in part, by Ariel Meadow Stallings and the Offbeat Empire.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `shadow-screen-options` folder and its contents to your `/wp-content/
    plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the “Shadow Screen Options” plugin in your WordPress Plugins administration
    interface as
     needed for individual blogs, or Network Activate.
