## Description

Like a built in notepad, leave notes for clients or yourself in the WordPress admin.
Attach notes to above or below the editor of a post (or page or custom post type)
and also has a default “Notes” section available from the admin menu which you can
hide or show.

The style of the notes section has been updated with the changes in WordPress 3.8
+. Please note that the UI will not look great on WordPress version lower then 3.8
and there are no plans to fix this.

Features :

 * Uses WordPress’s built in custom post types
 * Functions with default WYSIWYG editor
 * Uses WordPress’s meta fields if set to display on post edit screens
 * Shows “Notes” on one page in tab format (can be excluded)
 * Will not show in front end or search
 * Requires default post privileges

Notes :

 * It is currently only possible to set one note per post and one location (above
   or below editor)
 * Works with password protection in default section
