##Usage Instructions
To use any of the Font Awesome icons on your WordPress site you have three options:

__Shortcode__
Don't want to worry about HTML tags? You can use a shortcode in your posts, pages and even widgets to display a Font Awesome icon.
The shortcode to use is `[icon name=name-of-icon]`, where name=X is the class of the icon you would like to use.
**Examples**
Pencil icon
`[icon name=icon-pencil]`
Phone icon
`[icon name=icon-phone]`
Chevron left icon
`[icon name=icon-chevron-left]`
__TinyMCE Plugin__
Select the icon you would like to add to your post or page content from the Glyphs drop-down menu in the Visual Editor.
##Installation
1. Upload Font Awesome Icons to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
