Reply To: Adding Shortcodes To The Theme

Thanks for the links Wes…

Interesting discussion on the blog post. I don’t entirely agree with the stance about ‘lock-in’ as most theme designers add the shortcodes to give their customers the design features and layout in the easiest way possible. ie without needing HTML knowledge… If someone decides to swap themes, then they will have to deal with the consequence… (I’m having to deal with this as part of the changeover to your theme and I was fully aware of what I  was gonna be faced with)

As  I say I’m new to Genesis so knowing there is active development going on for extra plugins such as these is  a great help and I can get around to this way of working…

Also found this plugin from reading the discussion on the ‘Shortcode Madness’ post

Looks like the ideal solution for now…

Thanks for the reply
