Shortcode is now on blogger which has been designed by STC Network to allow bloggers to install widgets easily using the shortcode plugin instead of using long junk codes, this plugin can be easily installed on Wordpress than in Blogger. In Wordpress this plugin is restricted only to the post content which has made it not much really used.
