== Description ==

Automatically adds image captions under images that have their alt attribute defined.

Features:

* Automatically adds captions to images according to the caption styles in your theme
* Optionally edit the plugins CSS files to override your themes caption styles

== Installation ==

The installation is extremely simple and straightforward. It only takes a second.

Installing:

    * Download the plugin and unzip.
    * Put the velvet-blues-image-captions folder in your wp-content/plugins folder.
    * Activate the plugin through the Wordpress admin.

Themes for WordPress 2.3 and Lower

For themes that were created for versions of WordPress 2.3 and lower, you probably dont have CSS styles which determine the way your captions look. So you will need to activate this plugins stylesheet. In the plugin folder, you will find a file called vbic.css. Open the file, delete the two lines that say "DELETE THIS LINE TO ACTIVATE STYLES", and save. Upload the revised files to the plugin folder in your plugin directory.


Uninstalling:

1. To uninstall, simply deactivate the plugin. Since the plugin does not add any HTML to your posts, there will be no leftover captions or data to deal with.

2. Go to the "plugins" folder of your WordPress directory and delete the files/folder for this plugin.

If you dont want a caption to be displayed, dont set the alt attribute. No other work is needed to display or hide captions.
