 * Just a quick note to say I love this lil’ plugin. Exactly what I needed.
 * Thought I’d also mention one thing I had to do to prevent it from messing with
   the formatting of the text next to it. I am well aware that the issue is more
   than likely related to my theme (NewsFlash), but rather than digging hours, I
   did a quick tweak to resolve my issue and figured may as well share, just in 
   case.
 * Using the shortcode, the drop cap shows, but the font isn’t formatted by the 
   css that should apply to the paragraph. Looking at the code, I see that drop 
   cap span is there, but the text that follows isn’t within the `<p>` and `</p>`
   tags.
 * So, I edited the plugin and just added the opening paragraph tag before the span.
   WP closes the tag on it’s own.
 * There you have it. And thanks for a very handy plugin.
