 * As with any other PHP code snippset plugin, it is not secure. In fact I don’t
   recommend using any of these plugin if you can avoid it. My [proposed alternative](http://www.chancancode.com/2009/10/06/getting-the-most-out-of-section-widget-writing-shortcodes/)
   is to write shortcodes for those functions you need, so no one could modify the
   actual PHP code unless they have write access to your web server.
