# WordPress Shortcodes Help

 * Hello, I have been stripping my site from wordpress and using it solely as a 
   tool to write articles. My final hurdle to overcome is shortcodes. I COULD write
   my own shortcode parser (because I have no idea how I would use theirs outside
   of wordpress), but it seems to me that the easiest solution would be to just 
   have Shortcode be parsed as an article is saved, not when it is loaded onto a
   page.
 * If anyone can help me:
    1. Find a way to make shortcodes parsed as an article
   is published 2. Suggest a plugin that does this 3. Find a way to make the shortcodes
   parser work outside of wordpress (with all native shortcodes available)
 * It would be MOST appreciated.

 * Would think that [Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website](http://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website)
   and [Shortcode_API](http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API) would work for 
   that.

 * The reason for me taking wordpress out of the site is because it uses too many
   resources. Those includes alone take a relatively large amount of processing 
   power. If I have no other options then I will do that, but i’m hoping to be able
   to go with option 1 to be honest.
