<p>This plugin has one function and one function only — to make columns.  You use it by inputting content between <code>[column]</code> and <code>[/column]</code> within your post content editor (or anywhere shortcodes are allowed).</p>
<p>Grid Columns was created to fix the problem in which many theme developers were adding 20+ column shortcodes to their themes for something that should be extremely simple and done with only a single shortcode.</p>
