Shortcode is a plugin that adds several useful shortcodes that you can use in your blog posts and pages.

== Description ==

Shortcode is a plugin that adds several useful [shortcodes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API) that you can use in your blog posts and pages. Updated frequently with more shortcodes.

== Installation ==

1. Upload `shortcode.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory of your WordPress installation
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Success! You're ready to start adding shortcodes to your blog posts and pages.

== Usage ==

Using the plugin is as simple as adding any of the shortcodes found at [www.maxpagels.com/shortcodes.txt](http://www.maxpagels.com/shortcodes.txt) to your blog posts and/or pages (to make sure that the shortcodes are properly identified, use WordPress's HTML editor instead of the visual editor).

Some of the codes you can use include:

- `[postcount]` : the total number of published blog posts
- `[catcount]` : the total number of categories (those that contain one or more posts)
- `[tabcount]` : the total number of tags (those that contain one or more posts)
- `[ageindays]`: the number of days since the first blog post was published

When you are done inserting the shortcodes you want to use, save the changes to your posts and/or pages and things should start working straight away.

== Feedback ==

Please send request for new shortcodes, questions and general feedback to max.pagels1 (at) gmail.com.

== Changelog ==

- 0.1: Initial release, with shortcodes for post count, category count, tag count and blog age.
