To Do
Validate all fields on admin pages
Clean up CSS and tables on gallery page
Change caption to a div tag. It needs to be able to hold HTML as well as having 1.0 opacity forground with lower opacity background. It is currently in an h2 tag which looks ok but the text has the same opacity level as the background (0.5). I think this will make the biggest difference as to how the plugin is viewed by others.
Browser compatibility Issues
For the future
Extra JS animations
Options for how caption shows up rather than users adding all the html etc in the field
Resize images with imagick rather than HTML/CSS
