 * Thanks for the great plugin! I have a couple of questions:
 * 1. Is there a way to use this plugin using a shortcode so I can put it in certain
   places on a page or post?
 * 2. Is there a way to specify what category gets pulled?
 * Thanks!

 * 1. Read the section in the FAQ about using the `related_posts()` PHP code.
 * 2. You can disallow categories or choose “Consider with extra weight” for categories
   in general, but you cannot specify a particular category to pull from.

 * 1. This doesn’t really answer my question, but I’m guessing it’s a NO for shortcodes.
   The “solution” you gave will post related posts on every page using the loop.
   I’m trying to put it in only in certain pages or posts.
 * 2. Thanks. It would be great to have this feature one day since related posts
   are typically ones with the same category.

 * Sorry. Some users refer to that code snippet as a shortcode.
