 * How can I determine if the sprite generator is working for me? I’m not familiar
   with what it even does but I heard using sprites is good. Thanks for any tips.

 * The Sprite Generator will combine certain background images into a sprite and
   replace the url to the background images with the url to the sprite and respective
   background positions in the combined CSS.
 * You can determine if it’s working by checking to see if any sprite images are
   created. They will be saved in the ../plugins/jch-optimize/media/sprites/ folder.
   Also you can check the combined CSS for any links to the sprites. They sprite
   name will start with ‘csg-‘.
 * In order for background images to be included in the sprite they have to:
    1)
   Have the background-repeat property set to ‘no-repeat’ 2) Have the background-
   position property set to ‘0 0’ or ‘left top’ or any combination of those values,
   or have no background-position set since the default is ‘0 0’. 3) Have dimensions
   less than 50px X 50px.
 * In the Sprite Generator Options in the plugin settings, You should see a drop
   down list of all the images the plugin have found by default to add to the plugin
   in the ‘Exclude images’ setting. This should give a good indication of whether
   any sprite will be generated.
