Create Awesome with Gravity Forms

This was the original presentation I gave at the WordPress Houston Meetup on 11/15/2010 about the Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress (http://bit.ly/cfsgravity). Among listing the top features that mattered most to me, I also demonstrated how Gravity Forms could run in a modal window on a static HTML website using jQuery (on a website that does not have WordPress installed).
