 * Instead of using this as a widget we would like to use it as a shortcode to place
   content in a post. Is this possible? Worst case, we can use a PHP shortcode plugin
   and call the function() directly if you know it? Thanks!

 * Hi Killerdog,
 * I think this can be accommodated pretty easily in my next release. I’ve added
   it to the roadmap.
 * One concern I would have is that when it’s using the widgets api, the function
   output is getting wrapped and styled appropriately based on the theme. This will
   be more difficult and inconsistent when using a shortcode.
 * Are you comfortable with having to add a bit of css/html to make sure it’s styled
   correctly for your site’s specific theme?

 * Sure, not a problem. Although, if this is to be a new feature in the plugin, 
   you might want to consider leaving out widget-related CSS all together, when 
   using the shortcode?

 * Sorry for lack of recent updates.
 * Shortcode support has been added using “[btc_widget]”. Per request, inline styling
   has been removed.
 * I would appreciate your feedback!
