Thread: Plugin: What Would Seth Godin Do?

While searching for new plugins for my blog accross this incredibly useful addon designed by Richard Miller http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...seth-godin-do/.

I know, its title is pretty original, but it makes much more sense when we see the quotation from which its develloper was inspired from:

Basically, it allows you to show new visitors on your site a message inviting them to suscribe to your blog, thus
1) you don't need do to it manually
2) you don't annoy your loyal readers with such messages since after 5 visits from the same IP address, the message disappears!

By default, new visitors to your blog will see a small box above each post containing the words "If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!" After 5 visits the message disappears. You can customize this message, its lifespan, and its location. The message can be excluded from Pages if desired.

You can also set a message only for returning visitors.

You may download it directly from here:

This is a great plugin and it makes people feel 'welcomed'

Hmm, sounds like a great plugin. if I'm not mistaken, however, it shows up at the top of your RSS feed with something like 'if you're new to this blog, please consider subscribing', and obviously if people have already subscribed, they're likely to find that quite annoying

Another great plugin to make people feel welcomed is WP Greet Box by Thaya Kareseen.
