How do I add a new plugin to a new page
 
I want to add one of the other real-estate plugins to a page on my site. It appears I am limited to just adding a plugin to the side bars. How can I add something like the Zillow Local Market Plugin so results show on a seperate page.

I'm not 100% familiar with the Zillow plugin, but from what you've stated, it sounds as if the plugin creates a widget. The sidebar of the theme is currently widgetized, so if you'd like to use it in a page, you'll need to do one of two things:
1. Create a new page template with the widgetized section in the body and use that for the page. Keep in mind the widget area needs to be added to the functions.php page, as well as all the other steps to adding a widget section. You can find much of it in the WordPress Codex.
2. Check out the plugin documentation and see if they include any shortcode or info on how to use the plugin in pages instead of widgets. Check out their forum, etc to see what you can find.

Thanks Kris,

They do provide a shortcut that can be added to the page. Works fine.
