+ = FRIENDSInitially I thought of calling this talk "Flash + WordPress =Friends"

+ = FRIENDSBut that wouldn’t be 100% correct. Theoretically, the two were not conceived to work together. There are Flash haters in the WordPress community (where aren’t?)

= FRIENDS + = LOVERSFlash and WordPress are more like lovers...Those who do not always look good to everyone, each one have their life but occasionally get together to play.

This image illustrates how sometimes it is seen the relationship between Flash and WordPress.
