In order to be a successful blogger, you need to write content regularly. Some say, you should write every day. Well, that’s probably where most people have problems with. I have to admit, it is not easy to write everyday. Especially when you have a lot of other things to do in your daily life.

Thankfully, we have WordPress. WordPress allows you to schedule your writings. In other words, you can schedule one day for writing. On that day, you write all the posts and schedule them to be published on specific dates.

Lets say you set every Monday as your writing day. So, on Mondays, you write 5 or 7 posts, more if you are in the mood. Schedule these posts to be published for that particular week – one post per day.

If you have been following KodeeXII.Net, you might have noticed that I don’t post regularly. In fact, there are months where I only write a single post. That certainly is not they way to become a successful blogger. I intend to change that in 2011, which is approaching really soon.

This was how my Blog schedule look in the past.

This is how it looks like at the moment.

This is how it will look like in the coming weeks and hopefully continue into the future.

Thanks to the Editorial Calendar Plugin. It certainly is an excellent plugin to have. It helps in planning all your posts. As can be seen from the above image, I now have a number of posts scheduled in the future. I know, there are still a lot of days where I don’t have a post scheduled. That’s just a brief snapshot of what I plan to do. I will probably go back in and make some revisions here and there.

Yes, we can already create future posts in WordPress even without this plugin. However, this plugin allows you to visualize your schedule in a format very familiar to everyone – a Calendar. The best thing about it.. it’s not going to cost you a single cent. It’s totally F.R.E.E!

Are you using WordPress’ post scheduling feature? If not you really should. The Editorial Calendar plugin should be included as one of the must have plugin for all WordPress users. Do you have a list of must have WordPress plugins? Add this to it.

Configure Settings For Optin Pop

List building is certainly a must for internet businesses. If you have yet to start building a list for your business, it’s high time you start. If your internet business website is built on WordPress, here is an excellent plugin you can use to start building that list of yours. It’s called the OptinPop Plugin.

I’ve been testing out this plugin for a couple of weeks now. Setting it up is fairly easy. It installs like any other plugins. There’s not that many options to configure too. Just set the optin page and how you want the pop up to appear. That’s it.

Of course, you will need an autoresponder account to manage your opt-ins. You will also need to create the optin page yourself. A good autoresponder will have the necessary codes ready for you.

I’ve faced a problem while testing out the FREE version of OptInPop. It will always show the pop up box even if I set it to show only once in 1 day.

I checked the Cookie set by the plugin – iOptinPopBox and saw that the path is set to “wpfolder” which is where my wordpress is installed. However my blog site is not where my wordpress is installed.

mysite is at http://domain.com
my wp is installed at http://domain.com/wpfolder

Removing the SITECOOKIEPATH code in Optin Pop

That seems to be the cause of my problems. So I went to the Plugin Editor and modified the code portion where the cookie path is set.

I basically removed the portion containing SITECOOKIEPATH and saved the code.

Upon testing, the plugin now works as it should on my Internet Marketing Expose site.

Maybe it’s not really a problem with the Plugin. Maybe it’s a WordPress setting somewhere that sets the SITECOOKIEPATH value to the installed wordpress url.

What’s the correct SITECOOKIEPATH value anyway? Should it be the wordpress installation url or the blog url?

Am I the only one seeing this problem?

Actually, I don’t recommend the fix I’ve used here. This fix will be overwritten when the plugin is updated. As such, you will have to edit the code every time you update the plugin.

Hopefully the next update will have this issue solved.
