 * Great work on this! It’s a fun little plugin. Love the retro look. However, could
   you please remove the credits and the link back to the plugin’s page when the
   counter is clicked?
 * Enabling these features by default is a violation of the WordPress plugin guidelines:

 * However, the picture is downloaded from external source and the credit text is
   in the service code – not in the plugin code.
 * From handbook:
    “Services are permitted to brand their output as they see fit,
   provided the code is handled in the service and not the plugin.”
