Want to win a free WordPress mug? You can, with a little bit of creativity and a camera, in the WordCast Mugshot Contest!
All you need to do it take a picture of your favorite mug, somehow integrating WordCast into the shot and then upload your picture to Flickr. (Make sure you tag the picture with the word ‘WordCast’ so we can identify entries.)
That’s it! The WordCast hosts will browse through all the entries and come up with the top ten mugshots. Those ten pictures will be placed on the WordCast website to be voted upon by WordCast listeners. The owner of the mugshot with the most votes wins a free WordPress mug! So, what are you waiting for? Start snapping those shutters!
Beth finally returns this week to discuss traffic accidents, RSS and custom keys, and… steals from Kym and Dave? All that and more in this week’s WordCast.

You use to always say to me
That things would never change
When you helped me sleep at night
You whispered in my ears that
That you would always be with me
For eternity
It’s a shame it’s make believe
It was too easy for you
No, look what you’ve done here
Now, stuck in the middle of
This, you’re a stranger
You’re a stranger
You’re a stranger
Can anyone else out even hear me?
Anyone else out even hear me?
Can anyone else out even hear me?
Anyone else out even hear me?
I remember all too well
The things you did, like yesterday
No use pretending that we’re fire
It’s bad, it’s gone forever
Don’t understand the way you think
What’s the use? We’re on the brink
Self destruction, flames on ice
Don’t want to but I have to
No, look what you’ve done here
Now, stuck in the middle of
This, you’re a stranger
You’re a stranger
You’re a stranger
Can anyone else out even hear me?
Anyone else out even hear me?
Can anyone else out even hear me?
Anyone else out even hear me?
It’s peculiar ah
Then it’s washed with colour ah
It’s peculiar ah
Then it’s washed with colour ah
It’s peculiar ah
(Do we wonder, do we feel?)
Then it’s washed with colour ah
(Do we wonder, do we feel?)
It’s peculiar ah
(Do we wonder, do we feel?)
Then it’s washed with colour ah
(Do we wonder, do we feel?)
Do we wonder, do we feel?
Do we wonder, do we feel?
Do we wonder, do we feel?
Do we wonder, do we feel?
Walking on this road of loneliness
Lost all sense of tenderness
Don’t know how I could have missed
The signs right here while I undressed
I can hear them saying, “Is this the way it’s to be??
Is this the way it’s to be?
Insanity hath roamed free
Insanity hath roamed free
Tell me that you’re falling baby
Dangling like a key chain no, no
Hands are free about your head
Tell me that you’re falling no, no
Started out like any night
There I was next to the light
Shivering, the evening cold
What was to happen not foretold
I can hear them saying is this the way it’s to be?
Is this the way it’s to be?
Insanity hath roamed free
Insanity hath roamed free
Tell me that you’re falling baby
Dangling like a key chain no, no
Hands are free about your head
Tell me that you’re falling no, no
Tell me that you’re falling baby
Dangling like a key chain
Hands are free about your head
Tell me that you’re falling
Tell me that you’re falling baby
Dangling like a key chain
Hands are free about your head
Tell me that you’re falling
