As a user of Ryan Duff’s WP-ContactForm plugin for a long time I thought I would see if I could get it updated to work better with more recent versions of WordPress. The trunk version on dev.wp-plugins.org had not been updated in over a year and there were many reports of it causing problems with the new media library in WordPress 2.5 over on the wp-testers list. After talking with Ryan via email he agreed to let me take over development of the plugin and I pushed out a small update last night which fixed the issues I knew about in the trunk version. I hope to get the plugin updated some more over the coming weeks to take advantage of some of the other features in WordPress like nonces and the shortcodes available in WordPress 2.5.

WordPress 2.5 is nearing release so I have updated this site to the latest trunk code to try and catch any issues – apologies if the site goes a wonky at times.
WordPress 2.3.3
WordPress 2.3.3 was released recently so if you haven’t updated yet take this as a friendly reminder as it includes a security fix. You can read a more detailed look at the changes over on my other blog.
Last.fm vs Pandora and the age of “ad supported” online radio in the uk
I am an avid fan of last.fm, the uk based social music platform and was please to see today the announcement of new functionality within the last.fm website to allow the playing of full-length tracks and albums for free. This new reminded me of the announcement a couple of weeks ago from Pandora that LABELS AND PUBLISHERS FORCE BLOCKING OF PANDORA IN THE UK (there empasis not mine!).
How can one company achieve it but the other say it’s not possible I wonder?
