## Description

On This Day allows you to view blog posts with the same month and day in history
on your blog’s website (similar to Facebook’s new “On This Day” App) via widget 
or on pages and posts using shortcodes. On This Day has five (5) layouts and can
include thumbnails, post gallery and quotes.

#### Shortcodes

Add `On This Day` to posts and pages by using a shortcode inside your text or evaluated
from within your theme. You may override page/post `On This Day` options with shortcode
attributes defined on the plugin’s settings page.

 * `[tsp-on-this-day]` – Will display posts with the default options defined in 
   the plugin’s settings page.
 * `[tsp-on-this-day title="Title of Posts" keep_formatting="N" style="color: red;"
   max_words=10 show_quotes="N" show_thumb="Y" show_event_data="N" show_author="
   Y" show_date"N" display_type="0" show_private="N" show_text_posts="N" number_posts
   ="5" excerpt_max=100 excerpt_min=60 post_class="" fpost_type="post" slider_width
   ="865" slider_height="365 layout="0" order_by="DESC" thumb_width="80" thumb_height
   ="80" read_more_text="more..." no_posts_msg="No Posts Found" before_title="" 
   after_title=""]` – Will override all attributes defined on the plugin’s settings
   page.
