  • Be aware that external linking of sites and images creates the possibility of a (BLH) attack.

The link content can be replaced and redirected, used to deface, impersonate, or even launch cross-site (XSS) scripting attacks.

Separate multiple categories and id’s with a comma. e.g. ‘category, category, etc’

Good style, but need some optimization

I've found some bug (report in forum) and, also, i cannot found a simple way to link directly a quote (or a author list). If i click in gallery list i can go to letter and filter by author, but when i click hover an author i've url like this: #quotes-llama-page-print then, no name, nothing to link. then, i cannot share, i don't have an rss, i cannot link. also, use deprecated code (first of all, clear="..." in html instead of css). so, can be a good plugin, but, i repeat, this need optimization and fix :)
