## Description

Event Shortcode allows you to easily place time sensitive content into a post or
page, which is automatically removed when it expires. This could be an upcoming 
event, information or a link to a news item that will not hold its freshness. Place
this shortcode in each post up to the date of the event. The content will expire
on the date and time you set. After that, the content is replaced by whatever text
you specify or it can be left blank. This plugin offers a simple solution for sites
where a full on event management system would be overkill.

Features include:
 * Easy installation * Simple interface * Set it and forget it

### Usage

there!”]On 7/20/11 at 12:00pm (PDT)

Will show in post untill 7/20 at 12 noon as:
