Shortcode List

I have used this plugin for a long time and was sad to see it is no longer being developed. However, I continue to use it and will unless and until it becomes a safety issue. Here is a list of shortcodes tht work with this plugin. I hope this helps other users.

if(function_exists('special_recent_posts')) {
	special_recent_posts($args);
}
?>
where $args is an array of the following options:
