Imagine this…
You wake-up one morning and discover the unthinkable has happened…
…your website is gone!
That’s exactly what happened to me a few years ago. My hosting account was hacked and sending phising emails out by the hundreds.
Needless to say, the webhost closed my account. They did allow me to download a recent backup. However, I still lost weeks worth of work and money.
One of the few drawbacks to WordPress is adding HTML or scripts to posts. Especially if you use the WYSIWWYG editor. But I found a great plugin to solve this issue called Artiss Code Embed.
You can download it by clicking here or by searching in your WordPress control plugins for Artiss Code Embed.

When I started marketing, I didn’t do a lot of things that I should have.
At the time, I thought;.
Hey, that doesn’t work on me so it wont others.
Boy was I the fool.

A few days ago I posted about GetResponse removing the ability to pass subscriber details from the control panel and that you had to email support if you wanted to do this or use the form builder.
Well, Karolina Stefanowicz from GetResponse replied saying that as of today you can add code to the old forms to pass the data.
How to Disable Spam Filters in Gmail
There are two main reasons why you would would you want to disable Gmails spam filter.
Well, there isn’t a way to actually disable the spam filter but there is a simple work around.
Every time I send out a mailing to my confirmed opt-in list, I get an ever increasing number of automatic replies from what I call spam-responders.
You know, the replies saying they received the email, thanking you, saying they will take a look – you get the idea. However, no matter the message, the real purpose for the reply is to advertise something.
Some people may not know while others just don’t care but doing this is more than bad marketing practice, it could be illegal under the CAN Spam Act if you don’t follow the guidelines. And I have yet to see one in complience.
Some people use the excuse “but you email me” but that’s not valid. Permision based marketing requires just that, permission.
Besides it possibly being illegal, it’s also rude and is no way to build a business.
If you are doing this, stop. If someone told you to do this, find someone else to listen to.

Right after I gave GetResponse an overall great job, I find out they removed a feature that has been the main reason I and others have stayed with them…
The ability to pass subscriber details when people subscribe, unsubscribe, etc.
I emailed GetResponse support about it missing from campaign settings and three days later I was told:
Please note that this is available now only via Support Panel. If you wish us to set a specific forwarding details method (Post or Get), please simply advise us campaign name it should be set for and method you wish to apply.
Needless to say I am not very happy about this. Sure, they will do it for you but that could take a few days where it use to be instant.
I did discover that when you use the online form builder, it let’s you choose the options to forward details but honestly, their form builder sucks. It creates poor HTML/CSS code and you can’t easily modify it like the old forms. Which I still use.
*sigh*
