 * Thank you for this plugin!
 * I would like the posts’ titles/descriptions to show under the image- we use this
   plugin to display our restaurant’s daily specials and it would be great to have
   the names of the items we post show on the website.

 * This might be easier to do than I thought…the description is generated in the
   image title meta…do you have any quick ways to echo that up your sleeve? I will
   play around with some options and post solutions here.

 * I think I’ve got it!
 * Added this line to wp-instagram-widget.php
 * `echo '<li>'. esc_attr( $item['description'] ).'</li>';`
 * I placed it just above:
 * `echo '<li><a href="'. esc_url( $item['link'] ) .'" target="'. esc_attr( $target).'"
   ><img src="'. esc_url($item[$size]['url']) .'" alt="'. esc_attr( $item['description']).'"
   title="'. esc_attr( $item['description'] ).'"/></a></li>';`

 * Glad you found a solution.
 * Remember that any future updates to the plugin will overwrite your changes. With
   that in mind there is a potential CSS solution that you could add to your theme.
   I have not tested the following but something along the lines of:
 *     ```
       .instagram-pics img:after {
           content:" (" attr(alt) ")";
       }
       ```
   
 * added to your themes stylesheet might do the trick. This will allow you to update
   the widget in future without worry.
