Olá novamente.

Todos seus plugins são ótimos. Apenas falta a opção de adiciona-los em posts.

Alguns são possiveis outros não.
Seria otimo que todos tivessem opção de adicionar em posts.

Abraço. ;)

Love this plugin. Compatibility with WPML (http://wpml.org) for multilingual sites would make it even better.

Under IE8 winXP, the page layout disappears just after the Message and the IE8 debug reports an error (details below)

I used the method

Here’s the Error message : Webpage error details

It works fine in FF and Chrome.
