This WordPress plugin is VERY simple; NO configuration options necessary.

This plugin adds a new Post Type. This plugin makes it SUPER easy to reuse fragments of content (i.e. Snippets). Snippets can be included in other Posts/Pages/Widgets via Shortcodes. This is a very lightweight plugin for WordPress!

After installing this plugin, create a new Snippet (find menu item on the left in your WordPress Dashboard). Give your Snippet a Slug (i.e. under the title of your Snippet). Once you have a Snippet and a Slug, you can include your Snippet anywhere you like — in other Posts/Pages/Widgets (and even inside PHP/WordPress template files).

Using a Snippet that you've created in the WordPress Editor. Follow this simple Shortcode syntax.

[snippet slug="my-cool-snippet" /]

Using a Snippet that you've created inside a PHP template file.

<?php echo do_shortcode('[snippet slug="my-cool-snippet" /]'); ?>
