Open Street Maps

I'm looking into a different maps option that provides full-width options. To date I've been using the html copy/paste from Google Maps. I don't want to mess with an API key / billing info etc. in case it limits views. My question is, is there anything with Open Street Maps I need to know about? Lim...

Re: Contact Forms & Spam or non-delivery - what are your favorite settings?

Specifically, is it safe to have the "from address" be the same as the "to address"?

Also, opinion on checkboxes in advanced / misc:
enable server side validation

Agreed - a good option in the meantime.

And when you do so, don't forget about Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools.
