## Description

Other Series plugins create a custom taxonomy where each series is a term. Most 
people probably don’t need a new taxonomy. Really Simple Series lets you turn any
category into its own series with the click of a checkbox.

To turn on a series, you simple go to the _edit category_ screen and check the box
to enable Really Simple Series. Once you do, the plugin will automatically reverse
the order of all posts in that category so that the oldest show up first. It will
also automatically insert a list of all posts in the series at the bottom of each
post in that category / series.

#### Options

You just have to click within the edit _category_ screen to enable a series. There
are no other options. There is a shortcode available called
 [rsseries cat=”148″],
where “148” is a specific category ID, that can be used to display a series of your
choice. Do not use the [rsseries] shortcode without a category parameter, or it 
may show all of your blog posts.
