 * Hi
 * I wanted to add a Twitter feed to a text widget using a shortcode but it seems
   your theme doesn’t support this. For now I have added some code to the theme’s
   functions.php file but I realise this will be lost when you bring out an upgreade.
   Would you perhaps consider adding the code yourself as I’m sure people would 
   find it useful? The code is as follows:
 * add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);
 * many thanks

 * Thanks for using Voltata and for letting me know. Please feel free to write with
