 * I am trying to add some country specific content to my widget but the short codes
   are actually displaying as plain text vs functioning as per their intended application.
 * So this renders like this for all visitors:
 * [CBC country=”us” show=”y”]
    ATTN USA Visitors! Visit The US Version Of This 
   Blog [/CBC]
 * Vs this for USA visitors:
 * ATTN USA Visitors! Visit The US Version Of This Blog
 * Can you help?
