 * Hello! I updated the plugin from 1.0 to 1.1 version, and now I see you added 
   alt text when you mouse over the icons. Where can I change this text? I don’t
   see the option to do it in the settings page, and by default it is showed in 
   English while I want to show it in Spanish.
 * Thanks for your help.
    Miguel.

 * This worked for me. But about 5 minutes later my website crashed. Anytime I loaded
   my website I got a blank screen.
 * I went on to my hosting support and eventually we figured out it was because 
   I changed a widgets settings using the method above. They reset the widget to
   default and my website worked again.
 * Is there any of making these changes without my website crashing again?
