[wp-hackers] Adding video to theme widget/hack/??

[Otto]

If it's a more recent widget using the widget class, then you can use
the_widget function in the theme to display it as a template tag.

Example:

class Test_Widget extends WP_Widget {
... bunch of widget code ...
}

the_widget('Test_Widget'); will display the widget anywhere you like.
You can add an array of instance parameters as the second argument if
necessary.
