 * I am creating a new plugin that uses shortcode for two items. One for each individual
   item and then another to combine links to the individual items.
 * i.e.
    [summary] [item id=”1″] [item id=”2″] [item id=”3″] [item id=”4″]
 * If I add the [summary] tag at the start of the post, it doesn’t get the values
   from the items. If I add it after the items, it get each of the items afterward.
   However, I want the [summary] shortcode to appear at the top of the post and 
   not at the bottom.
 * Any ideas? I tried to add the function at “end_loop”, but that didn’t work.

 * Okay, I figured it out!!
 * I created a function to add the shortcode after the content is called.
 *     ```
       function my_shortcode($content) {
       		   add_shortcode('myshortcode', array(&$this, 'myshortcodefunction'));
       		   return do_shortcode($content);
       		}
       ```
   
 * Then I added the function as an action
 * `add_action('the_content', array(&$this, 'my_shortcode'), 11);`
