 * The plugin itself is functional, as long as you don’t intend to modify the markup
   generated by it. The module is badly coded, something an undergrad student might
   be proud of, but with this kind of work I don’t see why the author is touting
   their “20 year web development” experience. Just as an example, the core plugin
   code is in a single php file, 3572 lines of code, with PHP, SQL, HTML output 
   all jumbled together in one terrible mess.
 * Again, as long as you don’t want to modify the output, it works, it outputs functional
   HTML – which is why this review didn’t end up a 1-star -, but if you want a solution
   that’s easy to customise, steer well away from this one.
