<p><strong>Shortcode as a short way to users’ hearts </strong><br />
No one likes long and tricky code. All living creatures aspire to simplicity and harmony. So <a href="http://www.oxagile.com/services/web-development">WordPress website developers</a> can give them what they want – clear short codes for user themes.<br />
You can write short code using theme’s file functions.php. The following function should be added and saved into it:</p>
<p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:PunctuationKerning /> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas /> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables /> <w:SnapToGridInCell /> <w:WrapTextWithPunct /> <w:UseAsianBreakRules /> <w:DontGrowAutofit /> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 10]> <mce:style><!<br />
/* Style Definitions */<br />
table.MsoNormalTable<br />
{mso-style-name:"Обычная таблица";<br />
mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;<br />
mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;<br />
mso-style-noshow:yes;<br />
mso-style-parent:"";<br />
mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;<br />
mso-para-margin:0cm;<br />
mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;<br />
mso-pagination:widow-orphan;<br />
font-size:10.0pt;<br />
font-family:"Times New Roman";<br />
mso-ansi-language:#0400;<br />
mso-fareast-language:#0400;<br />
mso-bidi-language:#0400;}<br />
--> <!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><code><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;" lang="EN-US">function wdl() {</span></em></code></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><code><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;" lang="EN-US"><span> </span>return 'Web Design Ledger rules!';</span></em></code></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><code><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;" lang="EN-US">}</span></em></code></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><code><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;" lang="EN-US">add_shortcode('wdlrules', 'wdl');</span></em></code></p>
<p>After that shortcode is your little reliable friend, that definitely will help you to find a short way to your blog users’ hearts.</p>
