## Description

A custom post type, shortcode, and widget to display random one-line quips on your
site. Can be used for random quotes, jokes, etc.

### Use and Options

#### Options

Options are accessible under the ‘Oneliners’ menu. The only option is the slug for
the post type.

#### Widget

The widget has only two options: “Title” and “Display as permalink”.

#### Shortcode

    ```
    random-oneliner
    ```

The shortcode can take any parameters that the [`WP_Query()`](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Parameters)
object can take, with the exception of `post_type`. The defaults are: `posts_per_page
="1" orderby="rand"`

In addition, the `display_as_link` parameter can be set to `true` to output the 
oneliner with it’s permalink.

## Installation

 1. Upload the contents of the zip file to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory or 
    use the WordPress plugin uploader.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
