## Description

This plugin removes the Link URL that is enabled by default when images are uploaded
to your WordPress blog. This helps prevent accidentally linking to images. A screenshots
is available to help clarify where this affects WordPress.

#### Notes

 * This plugin removes links for image files ending with the following extensions:.
   jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .bmp, .tiff, .tif
 * Files with other extensions – such as PDF files – will continue to work normally
 * If you have existing posts and want to remove the links from images: WordPress
   actually stores the links as part of the post content, so removing the links 
   would either require looping through the posts and running a regular expression,
   or perhaps cheating with jQuery and removing links after the post is rendered.
   In short, this plugin helps remove links from images that your users post _from
   now on_, but doesn’t touch your existing posts 🙂
