 * The plugin works really well.
 * One thing I noted was that the shortcode just loads the template directly rather
   than returning the HTML.
 * This means the form is always output above any other page content when short 
   codes are processed, rather than within the content of the page.
 * Would be great if the shortcode returned the HTML so that you could include it
   within or after other page content.
