This is an Excellent and must-have plugin.
I just started using it and i will use it in many more sites.
This plugin is very flexible, very easy to setup, and very convenient.
One of the great features of the plugin is that you can set/restrict the default image for/to a post, page, post category, etc.
Keep up the great work!!
