Adds shortcodes [blogurl], [posturl], [templateurl], and [childtemplateurl] for WordPress 2.6 and up. Use [blogurl] to generate your site URL. It offers the parameters “slash” and “noslash” (to add a trailing slash; [templateurl] and [childtemplateurl] also support this), as well as “uploads” to produce the URL of the uploads folder and “wordpress” to produce the URL of your WP files. Use [posturl id=3] (replace “3” with a post ID) to generate the permalink for any post.
