 * Hello, I’ve very much enjoyed your plugin. However, while debugging, I noticed
   an error:
    `Strict Standards: Non-static method DropShadowBoxes::get_base_path()
   should not be called statically in /home1/sitename/public_html/test/wp-content/
   plugins/drop-shadow-boxes/dropshadowboxes.php on line 502`
 * The error appears to be referring to this line in the code:
    `require_once(DropShadowBoxes::
   get_base_path() . "/widget.php");`
 * What should we replace “/widget.php” with? Thank you.
