 * Hi Pär,
    I like this plugin a lot, it seems to be one of the best of it’s kind
   already (even though it’s still in beta!). Unfortunately I can’t use it on my
   main site for a couple of reasons, but I will keep a close eye on it as it develops.
 * Here are a couple of things that would make the plugin more useful to me, in 
   case you wanted some feedback:
    - It would be great if you could customize the name of the custom fields in 
      the metaboxes. For example, I have a custom field called “books” that I have
      been using for years on my site. If I could somehow add that field to one 
      of your metaboxes, that would help a lot. I like how clean the hidden fields
      are, but unfortunately it is not practical for a site that already uses a 
      lot of custom fields.
    - I find the name of the fields your plugin adds to be not very descriptive,
      which will make it harder to implement them in a template.
    - I would like to be able to add descriptive labels and default text to some
      fields too.
    - A file uploader would be fantastic!
 * So, just some ideas after I have played around with the plugin for a little while.
   Good luck with it!
 * Dalton

 * Thanks for the feedback, Dalton!
 * I think all your ideas/options were pretty good, so I’ll add them all to my should-
   probably-fix-this-list.

 * Cool! Glad you agree. I use a lot of metaboxes (right now I code them all myself)
   so I have tried every plugin like this. Yours is definitely right near the top
   of the list.

 * Thanks, I think so too 🙂
    Let’s hope I can push it all way up to the top soon!
