  4. Shortcodes How we easily get all that great meeting information to display where we want it to.

  5. What’s A Shortcode A shortcode is a WordPress-specific code that lets you do nifty things with very little effort. A shortcode is a small piece of code, indicated by brackets like [i_am_a_shortcode] Shortcodes can embed files or create objects that would normally require lots of complicated, ugly code in just one line.  You can place it just about anywhere you’d like Shortcode = shortcut.
