Remove Feature Boxes Replace w/ Widgets?

[buddha 0]

it seems like most plugins still do not offer shortcode. what custom css would i use to remove the feature boxes? i am just going to use the footer widgets instead. or, is there a way to remove 1 or 2 feature boxes, and insert a widget box instead? in my case, it would be the center and right hand feature boxes that i want to replace with widgets.

If you want to use widgets it makes more sense to use the "morefoot" widget area anyway. For the left hand feature box you could use a text widget to get the same results with a title and description, then other widgets in the middle and right.
