 * Tijmen, I am still working on entering my locations. I am at around 160 of 220
   locations, so I’m getting there. When I’m done, I will probably take you up on
   your offer to send me the beta if you haven’t released 2.0 by then.
 * Until then, two more questions:
 * 1) Is it possible to search for a particular location by store name?
 * 2) What is the thumbnail image for? I have been adding one to each location, 
   but obviously, it is not being used on the map currently. I assume this is setting
   up for the individual pages for each location which is coming later? Will it 
   also be used in the pop up or in some other way?
 * Thanks again. Looking forward to 2.0 and the premium version to follow.

 * 1) No, you can only search for street / city names or zipcodes. Not store names.
 * 2) The thumbnail should show in the store listings on the left next to the map.
   If it doesn’t maybe something in the css from your theme is hiding it?
 * You can test it by switching back to a default wp theme. I guess there isn’t 
   an url yet where I can check it myself?

 * 1) Ok… that would be a nice addition.
 * 2) You are right. Forgot about it showing in the listing. I was thinking it isn’t
   in the pop up box. However, it is really too small to be of any real use. Is 
   it possible to click the image to see a larger version?
 * Thanks.

 * The default format for the thumbnail is 48×48, which is set by a css rule. You
   can change the width and height to whatever you want and just add it to the css
   of your theme.
 *     ```
       #wpsl-stores .wpsl-store-thumb {
           width:48px !important;
           height:48px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * But you should check the thumbnail format set on the settings page -> Media Settings-
   > Thumbnail size as well, to make sure you don’t define a format through css 
   that is much bigger then the available dimensions

 * Thanks.
 * Checked and my Thumbnail setting is 150 x 150 in the Media Settings. So…should
   they not be showing up as much larger currently?

 * No, because the css file resize them to 48 pixels. But you can change that by
   adding this to the css file in your theme.
 *     ```
       #wpsl-stores .wpsl-store-thumb {
           width:150px !important;
           height:150px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * This will make them 150 x 150. If that is to big, you can change the values to
   whatever you want.
