 * I ran into some JavaScript compatibility issues with this plugin, and realized
   the reason was this on lines 41-43 in pinterest-rss-widget.php:
 *     ```
       wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
       wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js');
       wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
       ```
   
 * This will essentially cause everything else to use this old version of jQuery.
   A well-behaving plugin or theme should use the built-in version of jQuery, because
   doing otherwise is bound to cause unpredictable results. Please fix this!

 * I too had to track down the cause of a site acting up and tracked it down eventually
   to your plugin. Please read up on why it’s best not to do this kind of thing,
   it’s a very bad practise to force a dequeue of the WP jQuery files for the sake
   of loading the library from the google CDN which gains very little if you look
   into things, even if you thought you really had to are you not aware it’s possible
   to load a current version that stays current with jQuery stable releases.
 * I would have a read of pipinplugins post on the subject and consider updating
   your plugin and removing this troublesome bit of code.

 * P.S and maybe respond to your support threads 😉

 * I realize this is a problem and unfortunately haven’t had time to support this
   free plugin. Truth be told, if there was a way to delete the offering of the 
   plugin I would, because the amount of time it takes to upkeep and respond to 
   support requests is well beyond my bandwidth. I don’t think most people realize
   that it can become a full-time job (that doesn’t pay anything) to create, update
   and support a WP plugin. If they did, maybe there wouldn’t be such snide remarks
   or disapproving comments.

 * Thanks for the tip, Pippin. I ended up taking advantage of the holiday today 
   to fix the jQuery issue mentioned here and have uploaded a new version 2.2.2.
   Hopefully this will resolve the issues.
