Plugin appreciated! Applied shortcodes per online documentation instructions as I am a beginner at CSS. I will try the sidebar widgets next.

…It didn’t work for me on my site. The main problem: a lack of step-by-step instructions on how to craft a basic drop cap. I fumbled my way through setting up a drop cap, but couldn’t figure out how to change its look. Yes, I know CSS, but how about a simple tutorial on how to design various drop caps using the plugin? Deactivated, then deleted this plugin.
