3. Change the settings in 'Settings/Tooltip' as you like and click save

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why are there not tooltips for my old posts? =

This plugin inserts javascript calls into each post as the post is saved. An option to do this for all existing posts 
is planned, but not yet added. 
As a workaround you could update each post once to let the plugin do the work, or wait for a new plugin version.

= Where do you get the images from? =

Im using a wordpress function I randomly stumbled upon:

Call 'http://s.wordpress.com/mshots/v1/http%3A%2F%2F' with any url (no 'http://') appended, and it will return a 
screenshot of that page.
