Tabbed panels and hashchange plugin - hashchange

Question

I'm using the following code to create tabbed panels and it's the only one that it's doing the job pretty good. I tried easytabs but it doesn't work properly with what I have.
So, here we go:
/*
* The following lines are for main tabbed panels
*/
$(function() {
$('.nav a').click(function() {
// save $(this) in a variable for efficiency
var $this = $(this);
// hide panels
$('.panel').hide();
$('.nav a.active').removeClass('active');
// add active state to new tab
$this.addClass('active').blur();
// retrieve href from link (is id of panel to display)
var panel = $this.attr('href');
// show panel
$(panel).fadeIn(250);
// don't follow link down page
return (false);
});
// end click
// open first tab
$('.nav li:first a').click();
});
// end function
I have found a plugin called BBQ, that uses Hashchange.
http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-bbq-plugin/
I'm getting crazy to understand how to use that with my code in order to be able to use the back button in the browser. Please help me.
Thank you in advance for helping.
