Use external images from anywhere as the featured image of your pages and
posts.

== Description ==

Are you using an external service for storing your images? Then you'd probably
like to use those images as featured images for your pages and posts. This
plugin lets you do this easily!


**Notice**

Every time an image is uploaded in the media library, WordPress automatically
creates alternative sizes of that image (thumbnail, medium, large and full).
Themes may then choose among these different versions when displaying the an
image in a post. Thumbnails do also exist for featured images. Moreover, themes
may registerd their own alternative image sizes. For example, WordPress'
default theme TwentyFourteen defines a thumbnail size called
"twentyfourteen-full-width" whose dimensions are 1038x576.

This plugin uses the alternative-size information (which your theme uses for
rendering a featured image) for scaling and cropping external featured images
via CSS on your users' browsers.
