 * Hello, i love your plugin, however i have a question, what does the “LINK ID”
   do ? cause anything i insert there, it doesnt gets saved, the text dissapears,
   i tried links/texts, but after i revisit the widget page again, text/links are
   gone. Thanks in advance !!

 * Hi! Thank you for writing on the forums.
 * The Link ID: field can be used to add an html id to the link.
 * Then, in turn, the html id could be used for various things, like it can be referenced
   in the querystring, or CSS can use it to style the html, or JavaScript can perform
   operations on it, etc…
 * For example it might end up looking like this:
    `<a id="mj-boston-skyline-link-
   id" class=...`
 * Hm, I don’t know why putting a value in that field would cause a problem though—
   I wouldn’t expect the text or link to disappear! Maybe something else is causing
   that?…
 * Here’s a link to a screenshot showing where the id shows up in the html code:

 * Thanks alot for the fast response, i understand now what link id does, i also
   found the issue why the value wasn’t saved, i din’t see the save button on the
   widget, i lived with the ideea that it automatically saves the changes 😛
