 * Is it possible to get a shortcode for the widget?

 * I could look into this, but if I would add it, it would just be a simple shortcode
   and would not have all the options for the widget. Would that suffice?
 * Alternatively, you can add widget areas to any templae and add a widget there.
   
   Look into register_sidebar() to register a sidebar: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar)
   and dynamic_sidebar() to display it in a template: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/dynamic_sidebar](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/dynamic_sidebar)

 * In version 2.1.4 there is now a ‘[gwolle_gb_widget]’ shortcode.
