Adding Rich Media Content to your WordPress Blog
Posted 12-16-2008 at 07:56 AM by Joe721
Many blog plugins cater for one need or another, some for images and thumbnails, some for lightbox effects, others combine the two things. Still other plugins deal with optin forms typically with templates for Awber, GetResponse etc., and others for video (some of these are very good considering the range of video formats and hosting that is covered).
But in all cases that we have seen these are very limited in customization possibilities by the user, and in any case they are inherently limited by the dedication to one and one only of the above media.
One of the most outstanding issues with optin plugins that are generally available is that they are not self-contained. What I mean is that the error or success pages returned by the script to which they are posting takes the user to a whole new page, unlike here for example, in our own optin form, where all errors and thank-you pages are returned inside the original form area:
Newsletter
If you just click submit without filling out any fields this becomes clear.
We wanted to design something for WordPress which overcame many of these limitations and allowed for any content to be embedded, with almost complete user controlled customization possibilities. Our "WordPress Popup System" now has a few demos available which we would really appreciate feedback on here

This is the major focus of our development attention at the moment and we intend to carry it far. Feedback would be useful and appreciated
