Re: POp Up Announcements
Red, instead of a pop-up that EVERYBODY hates (hence the massive use of blockers), why not just create an entry page that has the content on it that you want your customers to see? It won't piss 'em off near as bad. At least when I go to a site I don't mind seeing an entry page, but if I see a pop-up that I can't block, then I leave. That also makes a lot of non-computer-savy folks pretty paranoid, thinking that you're doing bad things to their computer since they're running a pop-up blocker, and What the H!!!!!! There's a pop-up!!!! Ahhhhh Leave Now!!!!
Ya' know what I mean?
Hope this helps put some perspective on your decision. Good luck.
