 * I keep checking back to my site and finding this error:
    ‘Error: Looks like instagram’s
   API down. Please try clearing cache and reloading this page in the near future.’
 * The first couple of time it appeared I was able to clear the cache and update
   the page and it resolved. Is this error really with the API or rather the plugin?

 * The API keys we have added are getting overloaded. It’s about time for us to 
   create a settings area where you can add your own API keys so the Instagram feed
   will stop going down. Sorry for the troubles.

 * This has just been fixed please update your version to 1.7.1. Now you can add
   your own Access Token.
