    How the blinking heck do you use short codes?

    For a start, the reason I’m here and I’m using WordPress is because I’m not a programmer. The help system says there is an new feature where you can just type in e.g. [contact-form] and the magical gadget shotcode will create you a form? But they don’t then tell you where you have to type in [contact-form]…. it’s sort of like leading you to the gateway of all you desire and then — not letting you in! arrrghhhhhhhh.

    Any help much appreciated please — can you just type this into the HTML portion of your blog content or do I need learn how to edit PHP files?

    You add shortcodes to your page or post content area. However, in some case (such as a contact form) you’ll need to install and activate an appropriate plugin first. Then use the shortcode that your plugin requires.
