I have have several people ask if reCAPTCHA and its WP plugin works with aWP. Unfortunately, the plugin was not very AJAX friendly, but the good folks over at reCAPTCHA — in a very aWP-esque move — created an open platform that allows other people to modify the interface and incorporate it into existing projects. I’m happy to announce that reCAPTCHA has been integrated into aWP by default as a module and can be used, without effort, on any WordPress blog that is running aWP.

In further developments, the advanced structure created by AJAXed WordPress allows it to painlessly and finally offer Lightbox support on images that are loaded dynamically. For all that have been wanting it: today is your day.

My original goal in recreating Inline AJAX Page as AJAXed WordPress was more than just a name — INAP originally stood for INline Ajax Post — and a version change, it was to create an AJAX application for WordPress that goes above and beyond what one would normally expect from a plugin and create a platform that anyone can use on their website, or in their projects. Both of these features released today illustrate the flexibility and the ease that features can be added to aWP, and I hope they help to spark interest in aWP from the developer point of view.

However, the biggest thing that has happened to aWP this week is that someone said this to me while I was helping them through email:

wow…everything is so easy - suits dummies like me. Thanks heaps.
