 * To add an extra textarea to the post submission page?
 * I want another text input area (to be called ‘Intro text’ similar to the extract
   input box only above the main textarea.
 * This box would be used to type a 50 word intro which I can then display on the
   main front page of the blog.
 * I know I can use the ‘read more’ tag for the same thing but I want a separate
   box rather than all the text in the same ‘main’ box.
 * can this plugin do that?
 * thanks

 * Hi
 * If you’re talking about frontend post submission, then it’s impossible at the
   moment. We’re working on that and will release an update for it soon.
 * However, if you just need to add a text input in the backend, when you create
   a new post or edit an existing post, then this plugin is the right tool for you.
   It’s made for the exact purpose!

 * That’s exactly what I want it for. To add an extra text (intro) box to the post
   submit & edit pages on the backend.
 * thanks for the quick reply.
    I shall be downloading and giving it a try.
 * Thanks again 🙂
