Facebook's new Open Graph protocol is now official, having been announced and launched this past Wednesday at the Facebook f8 Conference. It is the successor to Facebook Connect which will be slowly phased out, and it is a big improvement, making it much easier to "socialize" your Web pages into Facebook's hyper-expanding social network.
I must admit it was hard to sit still at the f8 conference after Mark Zuckerberg made the announcement in his keynote address and I attended a couple sessions that delved deeper into the Social Plugins and the Open Graph protocol.

Contact Form Plugin for WordPress - cforms
Posted by timware in LINKS: WordPress on August 22nd, 2009
Recently, I wanted to add a contact form to our Social Media Blog & Resource Center which is built on WordPress (v 2.8.4, as of this post). I tested out a number of plugins and finally settled on cforms, and I'm very pleased with it. The latest version is cformsII which the developer, Delicious Days, describes as " a powerful and feature rich form plugin for WordPress, offering convenient deployment of multiple Ajax driven contact forms throughout your blog or even on the same page."
I found this plugin to be quite easy to install and configure, and was impressed with all its features, especially the ability to add CAPTCHA or challenge questions to the form. It's very easy to add form fields of all kinds and there are many different styling options which are available with a click.
Because the form submission is handled via Ajax, you don't have to worry about SMTP server settings or anything. It's really pretty much plug 'n' play.
This article will guide you through installation and configuration of cformsII.
