 * I entered the shortcode for a form in a post, but it just shows the code. Is 
   there something else I should be doing, besides pasting the shortcode in the 
   coding view?

 * I am far from an expert on this, but are you editing in HTML mode? Any shortcode
   that I’ve ever used in WP has only worked when I entered it in HTML then published
   the page. Once it’s embedded that way it seems to be fine to go back to Visual
   mode for adding anything else you want
    Good luck
