 * Ok so the above code is what i’m trying to turn into a wp shortcode. The idea
   being the, the attrubutes i would need the user to be able to input each time
   the shortcode is implemented are, the
    - anchor tag
    -  this image-link is the displayed in the “zoomarea”
    - src image
    -  this image is the displayed thumbnail
    - alt tag
    -  for that certain image
 * i also need the user to input a title and content which falls next to the image.
 * So if your still with me i need a shortcode which would look like this to the
   user when using it within post!
 *     ```
       [zoomGallery a href="" src="" alt=""]
   
       <h2>Left title</h2>
       Mauris erat ligula, egestas a eleifend et, euismod ut erat. Nunc vehicula lorem eget dui pretium ornare.
       Aenean dui turpis, condimentum non porta a, malesuada eget sem. Suspendisse a leo sem, at laoreet est. In commodo ultricies turpis eu facilisis. 
   
       [/zoomGallery]
       ```
   
 * thanks in advanced for your help…
