For example, You may have a blog with lots of information on upcoming events and lots of announcements. You have a variety of people who come to your blog looking for different information, and it’s hard for them to filter through everything. You can have a “Cats” page on which you talk about your stance on cats, and use `[ ahs_callposts]` to also call in a list of posts in the “cats” category, perhaps only the most recent 10, perhaps just titles, perhaps displaying just excerpts, perhaps displaying an image for each post. Then have a separate page for the “dogs” category. Etc! ### Features * Specify category * Specify number of posts * Specify content style * Specify random order * Specify multiple columns * Create your own template (NEW as of 2.0) * … and more * Choose global default settings that can be overridden for any individual instance of the shortcode. ## Screenshots * [[ * Documentation Area 1 * [[ * Documentation Area 2 * [[ * Documentation Area 3 * [[ * Global Settings * [[ * Template Settings ## Installation 1.
