Buttons Shortcode and Widget

It creates buttons quickly and easily, which is great. However, it's ruined by a few, relatively minor issues.
For example, when clicking on the editor button why does it display a drop-down menu when there is only one option? Also, what is the purpose of the 2-line admin menu option when it doesn't do anything? Add to that the occasional spelling mistake and the result just appears unprofessional.



It's good but has niggling issues

I was looking for a shortcode plugin and I stumbled upon this one and I'm very glad I stopped to check it out more closely because it's an amazing plugin.
It's slick, light, and easy to add great-looking buttons which even include a nice array of images to use with the buttons.
I also like how easy it is to edit and existing button. 
Thank you for developing this great plugin!



Amazing plugin!

Create buttons! Nice and easy interface. Insert anywhere in your site - page/post editor, sidebars, template files.
