 * I feel really silly asking this question, but where do I go to generate shortcodes?
   I can’t seem to find this option in the Simple Links menu area. I’m sure I must
   be missing something obvious, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

 * Hello,
 * When you are editing a post or page, look for the blue puzzle piece which is 
   a small button on the content editor.

 * Thanks for the quick response, Mat! I rarely have the visual editor turned on
   which is why I wasn’t seeing that option.
 * I also stumbled upon the shortcode documentation for the plugin here: [http://matlipe.com/simple-links-docs/](http://matlipe.com/simple-links-docs/)
 * I think it would be great if you included that shortcode info directly on the
   plugin page here on wordpress.org or in the FAQ, or had some documentation about
   it included in the plugin itself. The generator itself is nice, but I’m probably
   more comfortable just throwing together shortcode options on my own.
 * In any case, thanks so much for your work on this great plugin!

 * You may also find the documentation for the shortcode within the help tab in 
   the top right corner of the screen when editing a page or post.
 * Cheers
