 (that I posted screenshots of, some time abo), each page has a 'click here
 to edit the widgets' which brings you to a widget drag/drop page specific
 to the page you were just creating/editing. (I'll post code soon, after a
 bit of cleanup.)

 I like it - and unlike before now I understand your image. My only thought
 would be that these options should not take the user to a new page. I
 think it would make more sense if it were to open in a thickbox window.
 I'm trying to minimize page loads here - and time.

 I would propose a TinyMC icon to open this? Unless somebody has a better
 idea...

 If you email me the code or upload it I can do the thickbox stuff?
