Add Widget

The widget grabs all of its data from your global settings so all you need to supply is the title of the widget.  You can add multiple widget instances but all widgets will display the same data.

Add Shortcode

The shortcode option is there to help you add Follow Us Badges to any part of your site in different configurations.  This means that you can have multiple Follow Us Badges shortcodes on the same page, each with different display settings.

Here are all the available shortcodes:
