If you would like to take the challenge, you can contact me at ariefbayu@gmail.com and send me mail with '[cr-post2pingfm]Beta Tester Help' subject in it. Another news would be, I've created a dedicated support forum using UserEcho's Open Source package. FYI, it's a great service for creating support forum for your product. Go ahead, try it.
On a side note, I've received many complain that sometimes post are not submitted to ping.fm. I think I've addressed the problem in my soon to be released versions. Please be patience, or maybe you can submit yourself as beta tester.

FAQ
Below are some of frequently asked questions.
What is the minimum PHP requirement?
For the plugin itself, PHP4 is enough. But, PHPingFm class needed PHP5 to run properly. Conclusion? PHP5!
Why don't you use / create a library that support PHP4
Why should I reinvent the whell? It's you or your hosting server that needed an upgrade. PHP4 is dead, move along.
I can post to WP without problems but I am not seeing the update come into Pingfm?
First, make sure you fill in the correct Application Key. Then, set the mode to: For all categories (all)
I still don't see any update come to Pingfm
Maybe there's something wrong with your server configurations. Note: You need PHP5 and CURL library to make it working properly.

Hi there, sorry for the last broken release. Turns out it was my mistake. I accidentally added 'debug' parameter to user.post

Add Custom Column To Media Page
How do you get full image URL in Media Library? I bet you will go through this step:
- Go to Media » Library
- On Media Library list, click file name.
- Form Edit Media appeared. Select File URL and use it.
For single image operation, this should be enough. But, if you did have a lot of pictures, this operation would be very annoying. For this, I have a simple solution. With a few lines of code that later summarized into a plugin. Then you will have a way to access the images directly from the Media Library.
Adsense under Image: Reloaded
A few month ago, my friend Jauhari contacted me, asking specific question about a wordpress plugin called Adsense Under Image. At that time, I crawl the code and though that it would be cool if it can have multiple images and or set randomly where the adsense code appeared. I try to contact the developer to submit my idea. But, the website listed is dead and the plugin itself is now aged more than 2 years. Now became dead site

Test Your Site on Multiple Browser Using Adobe BrowserLab
Having Ubuntu as development environment is great! But, I things get complicated when I came to testing your site on IE. Yes, we can test it using IEs4lin project. But, my experience told me that the result is not quite the same as using IE on pure windows installation.
Yesterday, I got message from colleague at California. He told me about Adobe BrowserLab. A cool service from Adobe to test how our site looks on several web browser. It display the site like Pixel Perfect plugin for FireBug. Give it a try and you'll be amazed!
