Doesn’t Work

The plugin doesn’t work on wordpress.com hosted web sites, which is a pity as the self-hosted wordpress.org site worked great!

Effortlessly working

Yes, it is wonderful. It needs little effort to use.

Not free

there is no free plugin, so buy one and try. If you are not satisfied, learn CSS yourself!
