dredgecycle on "Liberate subscriptions from widget to shortcode?"

Hi Jetpack Support!

First, thanks for all the remarkable features you've clearly been pounding away at these last several months. I'm writing only because I find myself working on a mostly widget-less site, and really want to use Jetpack subscriptions to manage readers. Is it possible (or easy, rather, for a PHP-challeneged poser like me) to get that functionality without the use of a widget?

Thanks!
