[Plugin: WordPress MyLinks – The link directory with automatical thumbnail generation] Very bad: thu

I am very disappointed about this plugin.
The author does not care about any questions:

And: once you have generated the thumbs, they will never change – even if the linked site has a new look! So you have always very old thumbs in your blog! This is very bad!

Also there is no possibility to change anything with the plugin …language or the size of the thumbs, because the plugin has only one line.

This is very bad coded, because so you will not have any control on what code is implemented in your site. And we all know, that you have to care of bad code – it’s a security question!

The plugin inserts very, very huge thumbs; you will NOT be able to change it, because you have NOT any access to the plugin’s code to change it as you like!

For people who have several links, more than i.e. 5 links, they will have a very long page to scroll, if you use this plugin with such huge images!

I have delete it, because these are so heavy disadvantages and I help myself with the normal WordPress image- upload. I generate my thumbs/screenshots with a free software, called “Hardcopy” (-> Google), where you can draw a rectangle on your screen, where you like to have the screenshot. Then I upload it with the WordPress-image-icon and then, you can there change the size to a thumb – placing the text/URL besides – ready.

Very simple, and very easy to handle, and the best: you can use whatever size of thumbs you like – and you can update the images whenever you like – without having so many thumb-link-cadavers as I had with this plugin 😉

So I cannot recommend this plugin at all!
