FlyGirls Media Digital Toolkit – The Short Code [ ]
What is a shortcode?
A shortcode is a WordPress-specific code that lets you do nifty things with very little effort. In fact, that’s our new motto here at FlyGirls Media –
[su_quote]Nifty Things With Very Little Effort. [/su_quote]
Shortcodes can embed files or create objects that would normally require lots of complicated, ugly code and replaces it with a lovely & simple one line using the bracket features. [ ]
Shortcodes are one of my favorite tools in our FlyGirls Media digital style toolkit. I LOVE them! ♥
Here are some of my favorite shortcodes:
[su_heading size=”32″ margin=”5″]Stylized Heading Text [/su_heading]
[su_button size=”9″ wide=”yes” center=”yes” radius=”round” icon=”icon: gittip” icon_color=”#ffffff”]How about some Cool Button Texts?[/su_button]
[su_list icon=”icon: paw”]
- List item with a cute paw button
- Another list item with cute paw button
- And another list item with a cute paw button
- I could bullet point forever with these cute paws!
[/su_list]

It’s like an accessory to your content.
