Description

Deeper infos on Newsletter official page.

This plugin let you to collect subscribers on your blog with a double opt-in subscription process. Double opt-in means the user has to confirm a subscription following some simple instruction sent to him by email.

Each step of subscription and unsubscription processes is fully configurable (almost fully configurable).

The plugin has a simple visual composer to create your newsletter and send it to subscribers.

Emails are sent one-per-user, so subject and body can be customized with subscriber name. This make the plugin NOT suitable for big subscribers list.

The subscriber management is still really stupid, but it is enough to search emails and delete them.

The plugin is still under developement and the features below will be rolled out a little a time:

  • themes for emails
  • automposer to create an email with blog contents
  • subscribers importer
  • subscribers exporter
  • mass mail support
  • PHP execution timeout bypass

Installation

  1. Go into the WordPress admin interface and activate the plugin from the ‘Plugins’ menu.
  2. Optional: go to the options page and configure the plugin.

How can I submit a bug?
Write me to info@satollo.com, please, it’s the quicker way to have it fixed. You can write to the WordPress forum, too, but I read it rarely.

Do you give support?
Not at this time even if you try to convince me with money. I have not enough spare time to give answers within a decent delay.

    What is a MicroBookmark?
    Just like a bookmark takes you to a web-page, a MicroBookmark takes you directly to a part of the page, and it is already highlighted! (Power users can think of it as reader defined anchor tags)

    Why MicroShare?
    Because it saves time, and quickly & easily draws attention to the most important part of your web page while still maintaining the context and credibitlity intact.

    What do you mean MicroSave?
    When someone highlights a part of a page, it is automatically saved for the user.

    Why use this?
    It’s all done automatically, users don’t have to copy-and-paste parts of the page to their email, and/or a link to the page in order to call attention to just a portion of the page.

    What platforms are supported other than WordPress?
    You can add a highlighter to any webpage: on your blog, on your website, in your forums postings, in your classifieds listings, on your Profile Page, in comments you make anywhere on the Internet… Learn more.

    Description

    IntenseDebate Comments enhance and encourage conversation on your blog or website. Custom integration with your WordPress admin panel makes moderation a piece of cake. Comment threading, reply-by-email, user accounts and reputations, comment voting, along with Twitter and friendfeed integrations enrich your readers’ experience and make more of the internet aware of your blog and comments which drives traffic to you!

    Full comment and account data sync between Intense Debate and WordPress ensures that you will always have your comments stored locally on your own server.

    Settings

    After activating proceed to the plugin settings page (under “Settings” -> “IntenseDebate”) to configure your plugin. Don’t forget to visit your account at IntenseDebate.com for additional customization options.

    Faq

    What is data synchronization?
    Comments made in IntenseDebate are automatically backed-up to your WordPress comment system, while your existing WordPress comments are automatically imported into IntenseDebate. You always have all of your comments so uninstalling is a one-click process if you change your mind. Syncing your accounts enables auto-login so logging into WordPress automatically logs you into IntenseDebate. Profile sync also means that comments you make are synchronized to both profiles so you maintain ownership of your profile.

    What about SEO?
    IntenseDebate outputs the standard WordPress comments enabling your comments to still be indexed by search engines that ignore JavaScript, while ensuring that visitors surfing with JavaScript disabled will be able to interact with comments made in IntenseDebate. Readers with JS disabled can comment in the original WP system and those comments will be imported into IntenseDebate.

    How do I use my OpenID?
    While you can use your OpenID to login and signup with IntenseDebate, using your OpenID to synchronize IntenseDebate and WordPress accounts is not currently supported.

    If you created your account using your OpenID you will need to access your IntenseDebate username and userkey. Your username and user key will allow you to sync your accounts. You will need to be logged into IntenseDebate in order to access your username and user key.

    How do I sync my accounts?
    After installing and activating the IntenseDebate plugin you will need to update your account settings in your Plugin Settings page and either create an IntenseDebate account or login to your IntenseDebate account. Your data synchronization and comment import will start as soon as you have successfully logged in.

    Please Note: Your comments may take several hours to import. The time of your import is dependent on how many other import requests we are receiving in addition to how many comments are currently being imported.
