Perfect!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-what-i-needed-perfect-3/)󠁿 [techtips.eu](https://profiles.wordpress.org/techtipseu/) 3 September 2016 Simple and straightforward plugin. No bloat. Does exactly what the title and description say. This is exactly what I wanted. I like that the option to change colors is in the Appearance tab in wp-admin, and doesn't create it's own sidebar tab as some plugins do. Thank you for making this plugin available. I'll be sure and link to it on my tutorial site, https://techtips.eu ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d5995fd985f90e8c6ea2fe647c631680e692b16f0a0c37118ead417ccfd612c5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-1428/)󠁿 [noodly664](https://profiles.wordpress.org/noodly664/) 3 September 2016 Easy to use.
