Inline Widgets Plugin For WordPress

The Inline Widgets plugin for WordPress lets you insert any widget within the content of your posts and pages — rather than merely in a sidebar.

You may also find its parent project, the Feed Widgets plugin, of interest.

It's short and simple:

Browse Appearance / Widgets
Open the Inline Widgets panel ("sidebar", in the WP jargon)
Place whichever widgets you want in that panel
Edit your post or page
Notice the Widgets dropdown menu
Select your widget in that dropdown menu, and it'll insert your widget where your mouse cursor is at

Common uses for this plugin include:

An ad widget
A contact form widget
A subscription form widget
A silo stub or map widget
A recent updates widget before or after a silo stub
An archives and a category widget (to create an "Archives" page)
A links widget (to create a "Bookmarks" page)
An author image widget, in the event you only want those in some posts or pages
A text widget with arbitrary information you're inserting in multiple posts or pages

The list goes on, and on. Your imagination is the only limit.
