Magic Content Blocks

Update: The sale for the time saving Magic Content Blocks plugin is live at just $10.00.

Buy now

***

It allows you to create standard content that you want to place in lots of posts and pages all over your blog.

(Link to test page used in the video above.)

So for example, let’s say you have a well performing ad that you like to insert into lots of posts and pages. (Or it might be an opt in form, or social media buttons, or a disclaimer, or a signature graphic, etc – any standard content.)

What you would do is create your ad using Magic Content Blocks and then you can insert this content block into your posts and pages as you create them.

You do this by selecting the block from a new drop-down selector in the TinyMCE editor which shows all the content blocks you’ve created.

The HUGE benefit of doing it like this is that if you have to change this standard content across your site (maybe you have a better ad, or you want to promote something else), then all you have to do is change your content block ONCE.

It will then cascade across ALL the posts and pages where you’ve used that content block across your entire site.

Isn’t that VERY cool and a massive time saver?

Also included as part of this sale only is a full developer (client / flipper) licence. When the sale is over that licence will be a separate purchase, so this is a great deal allowing you to install the plugin on client sites and on sites you intend to sell for profit.

Today at 6.00pm GMT (1.00pm EST) I’m releasing a new plugin called Magic Shortcodes, and there’s no two ways about it, it’s a must-have. It does so much that I think a good description of it is that it’s like a Swiss army knife.

You just pull out the tool you want and use it.

It works by adding pre-made pre-defined shortcodes to your posts and pages. These shortcodes do different things such as adding Google maps, recent Tweets, and YouTube videos.

Plus a whole lot more. The available pre-set shortcodes are:-

  • Headline
  • Heading
  • Frame
  • Tabs
  • Accordion
  • Spoilers
  • Service Box
  • Colour Box
  • Buttons
  • Quote
  • Pullquote
  • Simple Testimonial Box
  • Highlight
  • Labels
  • Fancy Links
  • Dropcaps
  • Colour Notes
  • Message box
  • Styled “Definition” List
  • Flexible Columns
  • YouTube Video Inserter
  • Google Maps
  • Recent Tweets

By that very long list I hope you can see why I’m thinking of it as an all-in-one tool. 😉

For many of the shortcodes you can choose different styles and colours too, so you’re not stuck with just one of each, there’s some flexibility built in there too.

It’s difficult to describe what all the shortcodes do but they’re easy enough to work out, so I created an overview video which shows you the kind of thing you can do with them.

The sale starts today 2nd October at 6.00pm GMT (1.00pm EST) at just $10 for the next 24 hours. Then the price starts to increase every 6 hours after that. This is your opportunity to get the Magic Shortcodes plugin today at the lowest price it will ever be.  🙂 [br][br]

Project Email Part 6

A lot of people are enjoying this series and I’d just like to say thank you for the positive feedback and questions so far. There have been some good comments that have prompted me to make notes and make this series better. Please keep it up as it prompts me to keep going.  🙂

Eventually I’ll move on to the bit that I know some people are waiting for and that’s broadcast email and autoresponders, and getting your email through the filters and delivered into inboxes.

But for today, I’ve created a short video that shows a small tweak to ThunderBird which I think is crucial, and I also show off the same concept that has made FireFox so popular – addons.

There are a couple which I believe are most useful and that you’ll want to add to ThunderBird when you see them. If there are any that you find that you think are worth sharing then please let me know by leaving a comment.
