Thanks to a number of you that are currently using the plugin, I’ve received a number of emails and comments mentioning some minor issues that have been discovered.
I’ve just released the latest version of the SlideNote For WordPress plugin.

At the time of release, it wasn’t but I’m proud to release the first version of SlideNote For WordPress.
A couple of years ago, I maintained a small project that sought to make it easy to incorporate a JavaScript slideshow in any web-based project.
