A very simple widget that displays a single responsive, rationally proportional image in a widget area. Intended to make adding images (whose proportions are important) to sidebar areas easier for non-technical users who would have trouble using the text widget to insert images into the sidebar.
One of its key features is the fact that it allows proportional adjustment on the fly, so the user can easily change the proportion of the image inside of WordPress, instead of needing to resize the image in an editor (a problem for many users who do not have a lot of experience resizing/cropping images.) Basically, it creates a frame for an image rather than adding an image directly, and the frame size can be set before the image is added, much like in Adobe inDesign, where frames can be laid out and then have pictures inserted into them.
It takes a title, image URL, ratio and target link URL. It outputs a rationally proportional div with the image set as a background. Using the CSS background-size and background-position properties, the image always fills the whole space and remains centered.
Note: the image always fills the width of its container. If the widget/widget area where the image is placed is large, the image will appear large.

Think Up Testimonials rotator uses WP’s native text widgets and a plugin created sidebar. Put your testimonials into individual 
text widgets with the following markup.
<pre><code><h3>Your nice quote from someone saying how great your or business are.</h3><h2>~ Andy Johnson</h2>
</code></pre>
Place the text widget into the sidebar called ‘Think Up Testimonials’. To output the testimonial rotator on the front end, insert 
the function `thinkup_testimonials()“ into your theme template files where you want the rotator to appear. You can also control the 
time for each slide and if you want the rotator to autoplay or not through the callback function.
To create a slider within your template that rotates every 9 secs use the code <code>thinkup_testimonials(9000);</code>
To stop the default auto-rotate of the plugin, add the <code>false</code> parameter to the callback function like this <code>thinkup_testimonials(9000, false);</code>
