Adding a shortcode

Great plugin but I only wanted to use it very selectively on certain posts and pages. So rather than edit the template files in my theme, I added some code to my theme functions.php which allows the use of [likethis] as a shortcode:

function register_shortcodes() {

	add_shortcode("likethis", "likethis_shortcode");

}

function likethis_shortcode() {

	if(function_exists('printLikes')){
		ob_start();
		printLikes(get_the_ID());
		return ob_get_clean();
	}

}

add_action( 'init', 'register_shortcodes');

Hope that proves useful to someone – and would love to see it in the plugin itself.
