 * I would like to be able to use a shortcode in a footer widget. One for upcoming
   meetings, and one for meetings near me. I have no idea how to create one, and
   I don’t want to use a plugin. I have seen shortcodes on other sites using this
   plugn, so I know it can be done…to be honest…I don’t have the time to learn either.
 * Thanks

 * Hm, I wasn’t alerted to this topic. Sorry for the delay.
 * There’s a shortcode for upcoming meetings, see the FAQ. Shortcodes don’t always
   work in a text widget though. You *could* install a plugin to enable that, but
   it’d be cleaner to use the existing Upcoming Meetings widget instead of a text
   widget + shortcode.
 * There isn’t a “near me” widget option as yet.
