Discourse promotion widget?

[codergautam (gautam)]

Hey I just wanted to ask, is there a way I can promote my forum on my main website by using a widget?

Currently I have a link to the forum in the footer of my website, but is there a way to get a widget that shows the top topics and you can click on that?
