I am building a website where I thought it would be good to add introductory text
on my Custom Post Type Pages to introduce the content. The only way I found to do
it was to actually create a page and then pull in the post-type records. Messy. 
This works so easily and keeps it native to WordPress functionality. Even supports
a title to the text if you want of need it. I added it into my archive.php page 
via the do_shortcode method. Note: I added the ‘posttype’ attribute value dynamically
via querying the post type slug and now it automatically works for all custom post
types (I have 5). I would have easily paid for this plugin. Worth it.

Allows you to keep using archive-posttype.php template files the way the hierarchy
intends them to be used, without wedging in queries to Pages that don’t belong really
there, or other workarounds.
