 * Actually, using WP 3.02 but drop down doesn’t have it yet.
 * After installing this plugin WP is always indicating that it needs to be updated–
   that a newer version exists.
    the message is: There is a new version of Shortcode
   Reference available. View version 0.0 Details or upgrade automatically.

 * I’ll look into it this weekend.
 * Do you think it’s a useful plugin? I’m open for suggestions! This is actually
   my first plugin I’ve written 🙂

 * Well, it’s an interesting plugin as it may simplifies things if you have a lot
   of shortcode to manage.

 * Yes, for me it is very useful in that I do not have to remember all the various
   short codes in the several blog sites I am the webmaster for.
    Also, I have found
   what the problem is. It is caused by an extra space between Version and the colon
   it is: * Version : it should be: * Version: Although what I did was also remove
   the * from the start of all the secondary comment lines to have /* comment lines
   including the version line */
 * Bart, I left this unresolved for you to mark when you correct your source. (You
   should also bump the version when you do so everyone can be updated)

 * That worked, I’ve committed it.
    Thanks, kwikone!
