 * I wonder if its possible to make this plugin generate shortcode so that i can
   add it to my single.php template? i tried the following shortcode but it didnt
   work
 * `[cgview id=1 num=6 orderby=rand size=160x160]`
 * What im looking for is to have this plugin generating random images below my 
   post in single.php so that it works something similar to “Related content” plugins.
