[Plugin: Slideshow Gallery] Can I embed the slideshow into a widget?

@lotusbathandbody,

You can use a text widget but by default, text widgets don’t support shortcodes in them.

Here is an article on adding shortcode support to text widgets: http://www.lost-in-code.com/platforms/wordpress/wordpress-shortcode-in-text-widget/

And here is a plugin which might do it for you (we haven’t tested it): http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-shortcode/
