Yesterday, I found out that the contact form has not been working. Thank God, I had thought of testing it myself. I was using the PXS Mail WordPress plugin then tried sending a test e-mail and found out it was not sent to my e-mail. I thought that this could a plugin compatibility issue so I tried another one (Dagon Design Form Mailer) with the same results. There maybe a server restriction that does not allow me to access the PHP mailform function as Dagon Design explained. I moved to a new host (WebhostingBuzz.com) last November and I noticed that I have not been receiving any message from my visitors. I know it can be easily resolved by contacting my host, however, it’s also good to try other alternatives. Good thing, I came across Wufoo, the free HTML form builder.

The body temperature is normally 98 degrees, but cooling brings it down to 92 degrees. Doctors keep it there for about 24 hours. This process is called intentional hypothermia. Accordingly, it decreases cellular injury when the cells are deprived of oxygen, so with less injury we are able to do a better job of getting people back.
