Comment:

 @btwatts Hi there.

 I just tried your plugin in 4.4 and I saw the widget load as expected with
 the `widget` method being called. Did you add the widget to the “Top Left”
 widget area (sidebar) or to an existing widget area in your theme? Just
 calling `register_sidebar()` is not enough for the widget area to appear
 on your site. You have to add the required `dynamic_sidebar()` call in the
 template as well.
