## Description

Add a Font Awesome icon to your post with this awesome standalone custom metabox.

Font Awesome gives you scalable vector icons that can instantly be customized — 
size, color, drop shadow, and anything that can be done with the power of CSS.

For developers it is easy to use the field in your theme. With the template functions`
the_fa()` for echoing and `get_ga()` for returning the icon within the WordPress
loop.

A handy Font Awesome shortcode is also included. Add an icon to your post by inserting`[
fa icon="fa-gear"]`, where the attribute is the name of the Font Awesome icon. You
can also insert the current post icon by using the shortcode `[fa]`.

## Installation

 1. Upload `font-awesome-field` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Select a field from the Font Awesome Field in your edit posts screen.
 4. Place `<?php the_fa(); ?>` inside the WordPress loop in your templates.
 5. Watch the magic happen.
