 * Hi Hal – LOVE this widget and would like to be able to use it on our site – willing
   to donate $$ if we can make it work.
 * The hitch is that I need to get the bg color exact:
 * 1) looks like it has a default grey overlay – is there a work around for this?
 * 2) I can’t figure out the size for the bg image (which in this case is jut a 
   block of color, so size doesn’t matter. haha.)
 * I am using the wide format in the footer of a wootheme. Thanks!

 * Hello Again,
 * We just added a setting (version 1.3.1) in the widget settings to add a custom
   image and a background color.
 * To add the background image, simply upload it in your ‘Media’ section and the
   navigate to the URL of that image. Copy the URL from your browser and put it 
   in widget settings field.

 * Hope this helps,
    Hal
