 * The link to the documentation is dead, so to save anyone else digging into the
   code to find it, here is an example of the shortcode:
    `[better-rss feed="http://
   www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/index.rss" items="4"]`

 * Thank you for this. What would I add to shortcode to include an excerpt of the
   default 360 characters for example?
