 * Hello, I would like to know if there is a way I could include a shortcode in 
   the widget. I am using your plugin to display a random “word of the day” and 
   I would like to place a button called “definition” that when is clicked would
   display a pop up with the definition of the word. There are plugins to display
   pop ups, so I would like to put the shortcode of the pop up plugin in the Quotes
   Collection so that I could combine the two and display a pop up of the definition
   of each random word. Is that possible somehow?
