## Description

In the web marketing/publishing industry a content molecule is basically a piece
of reusable content that can be placed throughout a website. Typically isolated 
in nature, they often appear in sidebars and margins. Applying this concept to the
WordPress framework, you can create content that can be embedded anywhere shortcodes
are processed. Taking the concept a little further, any number of custom attributes
can be added to the usage of the shortcode, and those values can be embedded in 
the resulting output.

[m id=”slug” audience=”Student” product=”backpack”]

Will translate the following molecule:

Greetings {audience}!
 Check out our new {product} today!

into this:

Greetings Student!
 Check out our new backpack today!

Obviously a ridiculous example, but the flexibility remains the same regardless 
of the silly intent. Stop repeating content throughout your site only to have to
re-edit those pieces in every location when you need to make a correction or update.

Molecules are a custom post type. After the plugin is activated a new section will
appear in the left admin menu titled “Molecules.” There you can create and manage
reusable pieces of content. As a bonus I have added the post slug to the list view
for easy reference. If you embed a molecule in a post or page and the slug does 
not exist yet, it will create a draft for you to fill in later.

That’s about it for now, any input for future features is welcome.
