 * Hi!
 * How can I use use the shortcodes in a widget?
 * Where is this documented?
 * If I have hundreds of Testimonials, clearly they cannot all fit in a narrow widget.
 * How can I select to display a different three (3) random Testimonials inside 
   a widget every time the page loads/refreshes?
 * Here ([http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-customer-reviews/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-customer-reviews/))
   I see this:
    “Shortcodes available for inserting reviews and review form on any
   page or widget.”
 * I do NOT see that here ([http://www.gowebsolutions.com/wp-customer-reviews/](http://www.gowebsolutions.com/wp-customer-reviews/))
 * Please, advise. Thank you.
