I have found a new Wordpress plugin called WP Greet Box. I am found it really interesting and am impressed with this plugin. I am going to first instroduce you to WP Greet Box and will give my review!

What is WP Greet Box?

This is a Wordpress plugin which show a different greeting message to your new visitors depending on their referrer URL.

Below are Few examples

If visitor arrives to the post from Google search engine, they will see a message asking to subscribe to the RSS feed if they liked the post. The plugin will also show posts based on the search keyword used in google search engine.

If a visitor arrives from Twitter, they will see a message suggesting them to twit the post and follow you on Twitter.

You can also set a default greeting message for new visitors (not matching any referrer URLs) suggesting them to subscribe to your RSS feed.

These greetings helps the visitor with the suggestions and reader interaction.

How to Protect your blog content from getting copied

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Every day there are number of blogs coming up on the web. With this increase in number of blogs, there is also a increase in “Copy Cats” who simply copy our content without our permission and without attribution.

The question is How do you Protect your Blog content from getting copied?

Below is one of the solution.

My friend Chetan from TheChetan.com has developed his first ever Wordpress Plugin called WP-CopyProtect.

This is just a basic copy protect plug-in which stops the Copy Cat from copying the content. But, if someone want to copy your content he/she can go to source of the blog and can easily copy the stuff from there.

The plugin Disables Right Click and Disables Test Selection on a Wordpress Blog with this plugin installed!

I recommend you all to visit Chetan’s Blog and Download WP-CopyProtect Wordpress Plugin.

I am very happy to see that he has developed the plugin. It has also inspired me to create a Wordpress Plugin. I have few things in my mind. If i am free and have mood to do some coding in PHP, I will come up with my own Wordpress plugin in future.

The installation instructions and Faq’s about the plugin are there on the same above link.

Please leave your thoughts and suggestions…
