 * Hello,
 * i have a problem i cant figure out..
 * I want to create shortcode like [gsm $brand=8810]
    that creates a link like this:
   [http://gsm.com/8810](http://gsm.com/8810)
 * This is what i came up with, but it aint working:
 *     ```
       function gsm_url($brand) {
       echo "<a href='http://gsm.com/$brand>$brand'</a>";
       }
   
       add_action('gsm','gsm_url');
       do_action('gsm');
       ```
   
 * Where do i go wrong?
