Well, It’s been a long time coming for this plugin. I originally wrote the functionality 4 years ago, and released it as a plugin 3 years ago, and have talked about updating it for the past two years. I have finally done it! The original plugin had almost 7000 downloads!

It isn’t release-ready but my goal is to get it out to some testers by this weekend (let me know if you would like to be a tester).

I have got it working in Wordpress 2.7 and will not be supporting prior versions of Wordpress. If you want this plugin, you will have to use the latest version of the software.

The major upgrade is I integrated Akismet into the plugin. I get numerous spam questions a day so this was a must have. I also made the user-facing part of the plugin xhtml compliant.

So, where am I now? Well I have integrated Akismet but I need to modify the code to work without the service. I also want to give the admin a few more configuration options before I release it.

I don’t want to add too many bells and whistles as I think what makes this plugin great (besides the fact it was the first of its kind) is that it is really simple to use. Unfortunately it still relies on you having the exec-php plugin installed first; I haven’t looked into getting around that yet.

Let me know if you’d like to play with it before it is officially released! And by all means, ask me a question!
