 * yes
 * edit your theme file to call do_widget ($atts);
 * where atts passes:
 *  ‘sidebar’ => ‘Shortcodes’,
    ‘id’ => .. the id of the widget.. ‘title’ => ‘true’
 * be aware that your theme then becomes totally dependent on both my plugin and
   the widget plugin being active.
 * Might be better practice to add a sidebar to the theme instead? – google how 
   to do that.

 * Hi Anmari,
 * Thank you for your help….
 * After I posted this message, I realized that a Sidebar might be a better solution,
   so I think i’ll do that instead….
 * But anyway, thank you….
