What are shortcodes?

A shortcode is a WordPress-specific code that lets you do nifty things with very little effort. Shortcodes can embed files or create objects that would normally require lots of complicated, ugly code in just one line. Shortcode = shortcut. To use a shortcode, simple enter it on the page or post in your WordPress blog as described below and it will be replaced on the live page with the additional functionality.
