It's good but has niggling issues

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.

Amazing plugin!

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!
