Allows creation and placement of Admin Pointers (those little blue help boxes) on any page or post, including custom post types.

== Description ==
This plugin will allow creation of admin pointers on any screen in the WordPress admin area. It creates a custom post type called Pointers to store information.  You need to add the following info to make it work:

1. Title - the part in the blue title bar
2. Main content area 
3. Pointer id - A unique id so that it can be tracked in the WP DB as dismissed
4. Screen - What page/screen it should appear on
5. Target - CSS id or class we want the pointer to attach to on the screen above
6. Position Edge - Which edge should be adjacent to the target? (left, right, top, or bottom)
7. Position Align - How should the pointer be aligned on this edge, relative to the target? (top, bottom, left, right, or middle)

EXAMPLE:
Let's say I want to add a pointer on the edit plugin page that tells a user to notice which plugin they are editing. I would use:

1. "Which Plugin am I Editing?"
2. "This is the file you are editing, duh"
3. "ss_editplugs"
4. "plugin-editor"
5. ".fileedit-sub"
6. "top"
7. "right"



This plugin leverages the great work done by others here:

For configuring metaboxes on the custom post type:

For base class and code to allow pointers to display properly:
