  • Install it and forget it exists—perfect.

    All I want to do is link to the original high-resolution image I uploaded. I don’t know why it requires a plugin to do that easily. But if it does require a plugin, it should be a plugin like this: simple, easy to set up, and with just enough options to be useful. I installed it, set it up, and stopped thinking about it, which makes it perfect.

  • Great!

    I don't know why the settings of this plugin are not obligatory for Wordpress – so I'm much more happy about this tiny plugin! It does the job and that's great!
