See on the left side, under topics, how it has a graphic and then when you roll-over it pops out? Is there a wordpress plugin that does this or a block of code a newbie can easily understand?
I'd also be open to hiring someone to do it for me if they can do it quickly and I can reuse it on many sites. Thanks in advance for your help!
