I think it would be helpful if the resulting image were also a link back to the site.
Thanks,

Hi Shawn,
yeah that makes sense. I updated the plugin in the new version 1.0.2 with that feature.

Jan, How about one more function that can change the destination URL of the site? That way we can use affiliate links to push to a merchant site.
Thanks!

Actually an affiliate link will resolve fine, but how about making it so we can alter the ALT text so that the link is not the only thing that shows up when hovered?
Marcus
Hi Marcus,
Thanks for the feedback.
I will add this function in the next days.

Thanks for making this plugin. I am not very knowledgeable abort shortcode, but I wrote a tutorial to help people get your plugin up and running.
