What Would Seth Godin Do WordPress Plugin
Displays a custom welcome message to new visitors and another to return visitors.
Seth Godin advocates using cookies to distinguish between new and returning visitors to your site:
"One opportunity that's underused is the idea of using cookies to treat returning visitors differently than newbies. It's more work at first, but it can offer two experiences to two different sorts of people." (Source: In the Middle, Starting)
I built this WordPress plugin to implement Seth Godin's idea. It reduces the "work at first" to almost nothing.
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. Y
