   Great to hear. If the PodPress developers ever had any questions as to whether or not people found value in the plugin, this should answer that.

   Thanks for the news, Jeff! Although I’m not using Podpress at the moment, it’s good to hear that one of the major cornerstones of WordPress is still going strong!

   Glad to read about the integration of PodPress on Drupal and Joomla.

   Keep the good work.

   Wow! I breathe a sigh of relief!

   I use PodPress for the Indie Travel Podcast and a lot of the sites I freelance for use PodPress. If they disappeared, so would my freelance income! It’s good to know PodPress is still around and going strong.

   Perhaps a less sensationalistic headline would be “New PodPress coming soon” instead of making it sound like PodPress has been or will-be gone.

    Why would they want to be less sensationalist? It gets the readers.

    I like sensational. It got my attention. Obviously yours as well

    I never found the value in it. You can do everything you need with the podcasting support baked into wordpress and FeedBurner, all without PodPress’s clumsy interface – IMHO.

    The reason I don’t like Feedburner is because I don’t want a 3rd-party to have access to the email addresses of my subscribers, when they only agreed to give their email to me. However, I don’t know if when using the podcast+Feedburner combo requires a user’s email address, but certainly when it comes to subscribing to news posts.

    I’m glad to hear there will be a new release that has more customization. I hope the customization is around the player options, look, etc. I do not think the two packaged players make it obvious enough that there is audio with blog post. Anyone else feel this way?

    Seven months later, some of us are STILL wondering. Looks dead. Smells dead.

      I tried to get in touch with the plugin author yesterday but didn’t get a response. I’ll keep trying though.

      Seems like it might still work with 2.7 though… without Post Revisions.

    Judging by the dates here it looks like we are still where we were months ago.

    Since you were able to get in touch with the author before Jeff, perhaps you could again and encourage him to allow others to assist him.

    WordPress has a dev team, why not PodPress? It’s become increasing frustrating to find a single solution for audio/video podcasting like PodPress could do.

    I know there are good apps out there, but I want my PodPress back
