Very Helpful Tool

I was able to use Shorty to manage Creative Commons licenses across hundreds of posts easily.

Awesome, and can be even better

Extremely easy to use plugin, should be must have for everyone blogger, who use repeating content (like ads or database). have some ideas for developer. First, you need to use additional prefix to shortcodes, bot like [ad], but [shorty-ad]. Why? Because in otherway it can ruin some page if user used brackets [ and ] before. Like in this example. Previously I used [ABOUT] to decrypted who I am. Not I create shortcode titled "about" and suddenly my page ruined because my previously interred [about] should not be shortcode, but should be title... Erm.. Hard to understand, I know.. Second, what about widget support? It would be nice if I can post some shorty into widget to create text module in sidebar quickly. Great job! Will look forward into updating!
