One of the stand-out features of our themes is the large collection of shortcodes that come packaged with each. These shortcodes make it easy to build advanced layouts and advanced elements that would previously take many lines of complicated HTML and Javascript to create. But what if you wanted to use these shortcodes on any WordPress installation, no matter what theme you where using?

Today we have added a new plugin for download in the members area called Elegant Shortcodes. Installing this plugin will make our shortcodes collection available to you even if you don’t have one of our themes installed. Now you can make use of these awesome tools no matter what theme you are using.

Here is an example of the default 2011 Theme displaying a few of our shortcodes.

I hope that you find this new tool useful!
