 * I need to insert some wordpress shortcode into one of these blocks. For example,
   I use the plugin Gravity Forms and would like to insert code such as:
 * [gravityform id=”1″ name=”formname”]
 * But instead of the form loading, the actual tag “[gravityform id=”1″ name=”formname”]”
   renders in my page as plain text. When I put the shortcode back into the main
   content region the form loads fine.
 * Any way around this?

 * The plugin is not capable of doing this at this stage but we take note of it.
