That might work.
I do not follow your claim that Trending was an obtrusive widget. How so? Currently I see a mini Trending list on the home page with a small button to click that says "See All" that links to the now defunct full Trending page. It does not seem very obtrusive to me at all. What is wrong with that? Even just a small button with a link to the full Trending page would be fine for me. Even if it were not linked on the Home Page but it was linked somewhere else, that would be fine for me. It does not have to be intrusive and I would say it was not. Maybe that is because the Trending page was not my Home Page, but if the issue was that it was intrusive to some users because they had Trending default to their home page the answer would be - don't do that! Problem solved!
