 * Beautiful plugin!
 * After installing, it showed the graph, but none of the links in the graph were
   clickable.
 * Using Firebug, I could find this error message: TypeError: $ is not a function
 * This could be solved by replacing $ with jQuery in script.js (in the js folder
   of the plugin). Or actually, I completely copied another script.js file from 
   one of the sites that the plugin author mentions on his site, where this plugin
   is also used (since javascript is executed on the side of the client, the source
   of this script.js file can be obtained simply by surfing to such site).
 * Now, it’s working fine!
