 * Hello, the plugin works great, but I’m having some problems using the shorcode[
   wpfp-link] as a text widget. I just see the text “[wpfp-link]”.
 * Any ideas what i’m doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

 * Not sure if you still care on this, but you cannot use shortcodes in the text
   widget, you need to grab a “shortcode” widget, such as Shortcode Widget to do
   so.

 * Thank you, works fine using the “shortcode widget” plugin.
