 * One issue I ran into with the shortcode was that I was unable to wrap it into
   another div in the page editor.
 * When I tried, it pulled itself out of that div and was on a line above the intended
   enclosing div in the resulting HTML.
 * I ended up having to use the template tag instead, which worked fine for now,
   but the shortcode would be preferable.
 * Thanks,
    Michael

 * Interesting. Is that on a public site where I could take a look?

 * Not presently, as I had to fix it, as I described for the site’s launch.
 * I’m using it on this page for the “Next Game : STANFORD – October 29, 2011” line.
