 * Hey, this is probably an ignorant question, but what exactly is the difference
   between keep and remove in the onclick effect?
    Thanks in advance!

 * If your theme (or possibly another plugin) has some code set up so if you click
   on a gallery image it pops it open in a lightbox, that’s not necessarily ideal(
   or functional) if you’re trying to, say, link the image to another site or another
   page. So the “Remove” setting is on by default under the assumption most people
   will be linking to other pages or sites with their custom links.
