Column Layout

You can also add column layout with this plugin, it supports two, three, four and six column layout. Genesis comes by default with those shortcodes but it was hard to enter them in the post without remembering these shortcodes. This plugin integrates those shortcodes and makes it easy to use it in your post.

Gist Support

You can use Code tag to add code snippet in your blog post but it has its own problems. Code tag doesn’t make it look pretty and align your code properly, you need to do some more work to make it look good. Gist is a better way to share the code, as it allows users to

Gist is a better way to share the code, as it allows users to copy the raw code, alignment looks good and you don’t have to manage multiple code snippets for multiple files.

Awesome ShortCodes For Genesis support Gist insertion in your blog post, so you can easily share the code in your posts.

Giveaway

If you run Giveaway on your blogs and use services like RaffleCopter or Punchtab, you can use this plugin to add those giveaways in your blog posts.

Currently this plugin only supports RaffleCopter and Punchtab, other services will be added later on.

All the shortcodes are compatible with Apple News and AMP format. Some of them truly depend on Javascript execution like Giveaway and Gist, those will be skipped in AMP format.

If you like the plugin you can get it free from the WordPress plugin repository.
