Overview
This plugin easily integrates Genesis column classes into your WordPress editor. With the click of a button, you can now add column class shortcodes to your page or post. You will no longer have to know any HTML or CSS. Use the power of the built in Genesis column classes, with the simple click of a button.
Includes 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 column classes.
Not a Genesis User, I have included the necessary CSS within the plugin. You can activate the optional CSS via Settings > Easy Columns or simply copy/paste into your themes style.css.
Code 96 offers WordPress Design services and custom WordPress Themes.

THE BEST PLUGIN FOR MAKING COLUMNS
by princessslattie·11 years ago
Terrific plug-in for creating columns, so easy. More importantly truly AMAZING support. Being new to technology I did not know what I was doing but Matthew(Code96) walked me through it ..BTW it is really an easy installation … I just forgot to check the css box and I panicked.
The reality is that all plugin designers should take a page from Matthew’s book of helping users.
