Amazing Wordpress Plugin
For my niche, I feel like product showcasing is very important. I don't like leaving the readers squinting to see details or just stacking full-width images, as this can lead to an ugly article layout.

The Magic Thumb extension has been rock-solid on my website, where many other image plugs seem to fail eventually (not well supported long-term), and allows me a variety of layout options to customize to each articles needs.

The addition of the wordpress shortcodes is a well thought addition and much welcomed.

Customer support has been amazing in walking me through any concerns and questions.

I also bought Magic Slideshow for even more product layout flexibility. I strongly believe the Magic Toolbox extensions are the one-stop shop and can now focus on content and not worrying if my gallery and image plugin needs are met. They are!
