  • Some things need attentions

    Seemed perfect for my needs until I ran a validator on it and discovered that for ever icon I had added in the widget, a copy of the CSS style appears in the source page. It is "illegally" placed inside the page's HTML and perhaps worse, appears over and over and over and over and over and over and over... you get it. Needless bloat. Too bad... :(

  • Acts like primary plugin in WP dashboard

    It puts itself as first menu in the dashboard before everything posts, pages, etc. It is really unprofessional and it is very annoying.
