   Hi,

   i am looking for a possibility to place a widget in the <div id="main"> or main-inner.

   Sometimes you have a lot of text in the main content but only one widget - the sidebar looks really empty.
   So i would like to float a widget within the main text area.

   Doing it with classic method (divs, etc...) seems very inelegant, beside being a pain :-).

   Any suggestions?

   Hello foryourinfo,

   You can try this out, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-widget-area/.

   We also have shortcodes of some of the widgets which you can use, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php?title=Widget_Shortcodes.

   Is there a specific widget you are wanting to use in the page content?

   HI Elliott,

   thanks for your help.
   I needed the shortcode for contact us!
   I used your second solution even though it still was a mess because of positioning and styling.
   It was the quick and dirty approach here.

   Probably in future i have to use a custom-widget to be consistent throughout the site.

   Thanks Tom
