Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

This plugin requires the Genesis Theme Framework

While the plugin will work on the HTML5 “Pro” themes, the HTML markup only supports the older XHTML themes at this time. It is not recommended for use on the new HTML5 themes.

Thanks to David Decker, this plugin is translation ready. German translation files included.

Special Thanks

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to all the folks at StudioPress, their themes make my life easier.
