Introducing beCounted

Yesterday we released version 1.0 of beCounted to the WordPress community via the WordPress.org Plugins repository. beCounted creates a multiple item count up widget based on annual statistics showing the number of occurrences since the page was loaded.

The default statistics that come with beCounted are a set of mythological creatures, including dragons, mermaids, unicorns, and zombies. Administrators can add any number of statistics to this counter, can customize all of the styling, and can add a custom credit blurb beneath the counter display with the ability to add hyperlinks.

Note: We originally created this WordPress plugin for our client’s website, Animal Rights: The Abolitionist Approach, calling it the Animal Kill Counter.

Introducing Benchmark Email Lite

We just released version 1.0 of Benchmark Email Lite to the WordPress community via the WordPress.org Plugins repository. Benchmark Email Lite creates a newsletter signup form widget.

The widget creates a simple W3C and WAVE validated signup form to instantly subscribe visitors to a Benchmark Email contact list, requesting the subscriber’s first name, last name, and email address. If the subscriber preexists on the list, this will update the subscriber’s first and last names on the mailing list.
