Charles, David,
Thanks for taking a look at our ThinkFree Viewer plug-in. Just to give you a little more information - ThinkFree also has a free online site (www.thinkfree.com) for authoring and editing word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation files. These files are created using Microsoft Office formats (.doc, .xls, .ppt), so there isn’t a seperate ThinkFree format. We just wanted to make sure that people knew that documents created in ThinkFree Online could also be used in the WordPress plug-in.
Oh and the plug-in also works with presentation files.
Thanks,
Jonathan
I’ve installed the Thinkfree Viewer, and tested it out with an Excel document. It works great! I can’t wait until I’m ready to start making use of it in my Blog.
Charles, just a heads up if you didn’t know, but apparently the podpress issues with RSS feeds is still an issue, as your feed came through completely unformatted. I haven’t checked to see if there’s a fix out yet.
Thanks for covering the WordPress FAQ series, guys.
BTW, Charles, you should email me if you’re interested in the new features of WP 2.2. There’s actually more than you might think. 
Hi from a Parisian in Paris. Liked your podcast :).
On question : I am maybe late on this but will you or did you cover the problem of the sponsored themes in wp ?
There’s a problem with sponsored themes?!

Thanks for your review of the Vidavee Wordpress video plugin. David is correct that the videos are transcoded to flash & hosted by Vidavee. Regarding rights, the content producer maintains all rights to their content. We recognize that video bloggers demand & desire greater control over their content.
Thanks again!
I think there’s a problem with both mp3 files and the player for this podcast.
The mp3 files only plays for 4 minute and that flash player thingy 21 minute.
Matt mentionned the very problematic question of the sponsored theme here :

Many people seem to fight over this issue.
I’d like to hear about it.
