!! Introduction
This plugin provides a menu bar with the following features:
* Menu items take the form of simple text links, dropdowns, or entirely custom content
* Menu items can be individually enabled via the control panel
* Responds to reduced screen width by abbreviating the menu items to a "hamburger" dropdown
