 * Your plugin creates a shortcode, but it is not defined anywhere in the documentation.
   What is it?

 * Hi there – did you ever find out? I’m trying to install an autoresponder and 
   have no clue where to publish the so-called ‘shortcode’! I’ll keep looking…..

 * …figured it out, you just put the shortcode they give you on the main page edit
   area on a new page, click publish, voila! Very cool!

 * The shortcode for the autoresponder that I’m installing was given in the installation
   instructions, it was [gwa-autoresponder]. I put it in including the brackets 
   and it worked.
 * I just looked at your link for the WP List plugin though and I didn’t see anything
   there either.
 * Have you tried ‘searchen’ for someone that using the plugin (sorry silly pun)?
   Did your plugin create something in brackets that looks what I used? I’m new 
   at WP stuff so I’m probably just confusing things for you!

 * Try this [wp_list_posts]
 * From what i see in the code I think that’s what it is.
