Plugin to show the widget area names on non-admin pages and posts. This adds the title to widget $params['before_widget'].

== Description ==

If you get confused by which widget area a widget is attached to when browsing your site then this plugin can help.
The plugin shows the widget area names on non-admin pages and posts. This adds the widget area title to widget $params['before_widget']. This will only display for the edit_posts capabilities. You must use print $params['before_widget'] in your widget definitions to view the area name.
If the widget area is empty then no widget area name is displayed.

Recently added a jQuery toggle to the admin menu bar to quickly hide/show the widget area names. See +/- swan link in admin bar.

== Installation ==

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

1. Upload `show-widget-area-names` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Change the included css file to your liking.
4. You will find a link added to the Admin Bar to toggle Show Widget Area Names (+/- swan).
