   Glad to be of help Liz. Hopefully this will be just what they need, or bring out advice from others.

   Hi Cat,
   I sure had fun playing with it. The subscription doesn’t seem outrageously for the value that you get. It’s a nice package of features. I hope folks check it out.
   Thanks again for your research. You’re keeper, you know. :)

   Kean,

   it was my pleasure. I’m a resources hound so when I do stumble across something, I share if it’s relevant.

   And Liz, thanks again :-)

   There’s a more recent and detailed review of Wufoo, including a live data-entry forms and several screen captures, plus links to other AJAXified formbuilders at http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2006/07/wufoo-challenges-infopath-for-form.html.

   Thanks Roger, especially for including the link. Do you work at Wufoo? If you do, I’d love to talk to you by email.

   I don’t work at Wufoo; I’m a .NET developer, book writer, and magazine columnist. My interest in Web-based form-building tools relates to Microsoft’s current emphasis on Windows Live Whatever and how Access 2007+ fits into the picture outlined in Ray Ozzie’s “Internet Service Disruption” Memo (http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2005/11/ray-ozzies-internet-service-disruption.html.)

    Hi Roger,
    I’m old enough to remember plenty of people who had them, but you might be the only one I know now who does. :)

    Good resource Lizz, I’ll have to try it out.

    PS - A potential topic for you as you have like 10 blogs going. :) What do you recommend - create a website and a seperate blog or create a blog and use this as your main website? I’m trying to get some feedback as to how people think on this.

    HI Chad,
    Thanks! It does look like it can do some nice things, this little form maker, doesn’t it?

    Interesting question you pose here. It’s the second time someone has asked me about it in a couple of weeks. I’m looking at that very question for a business I’m starting right now. I’m sure hoping that I can base it on a blog — the maintenance of a blog is so much easier. However, the gating factor is the kind of content you’re going to present. If the content on the front page needs to remain static, you might want a webpage with a blog attached.

    “If the content on the front page needs to remain static, you might want a webpage with a blog attached.”

    Or you could use the static front page plugin

    The static front page plugin for WordPress sticks the ‘home’ page to your front page.

    Cat,
    I hadn’t heard of that one either. What a perfect solution!!!! I’m going to die, come back as guy, grow up quickly, come down there, sweep you off your feet and marry you!!

    Or else leave all my money, if I ever get any. :)

    Liz, you say the nicest things :-)

    But to tell you the truth, I’ve spent the last oh, months and months researching for the new blog I’m going to launch at the end of August/early September. I have about 50 wp plugins that I’ll try out to see how they work. Everything to automate what I want to do.

    And that’s the secrete to my WP stash. The rest is due to a resources stash I keep adding to daily. I have bookmarks you cannot believe. Handy stuff.

    I started collecting bookmarks about 5 years ago for Creative Latitude, and it’s just snowballed.

    A blog format was launched several weeks back created to run a range of blogs out of one main blog. If I can find it, I’ll post it here. It’s quite amazing and wonderful if you have a lot of authors.

    “Snowballs Stashed in Borneo”

    Sounds great! Now all I have to get are those Sultan sized royalties :-D

    I’m working on those royalties. How else am I going to get down there for those g&ts ? :)

    There is another online forms builder out there called The Blue Form.
    It features an AJAX style form builder as well as the ability to assign approval workflows to the forms.
    This makes it more of an online process automation / eforms workflow site rather than just a form builder.
    It could be used in most office type environments to automate paper based processed. We are currently trailing it at the company where I work and the reception has been quite good.

    Welcome, Angelo!
    Excellent. Thank you, for letting us know about it. It sounds like one great find to me. I’ll check it out. I appreciate that you included the link for me and for those reading.

    You know the rule here?

    Now that you’ve said “hello,” you’re not a stranger anymore. You’re a friend.

    Thank you, again, Angelo.

    Try Nenest.com, which is even better. It has many pre-programmed controls for input fields. And you can create rich text document like Microsoft Word document. Also you can attach files.
