MD4.9.6 is now available!

Good news everybody! Marketers Delight 4.9.6 is now waiting for you in your WordPress admin panel and its got some new features that will really help your social media strategy out. Check out the changelog below or go read the full announcement post to see the juicy new details!

In the trackable web, there is no longer such thing as a “direct link.”

The best answer to the question of “how do I organize my blog?” is to simply create a ton of content and let it sort itself out (it will also give you the guidance you are missing by asking this question).

The New MD Style Guide

Just a heads up, I published an updated and highly expanded version of the MD Style Guide. Use this cheatsheet to find a list of useful helper classes to make writing custom HTML elements easier and drastically cut down the amount of custom CSS you need to write:

MailerLite in MD4.9.5

The summer is truly a unique time on Earth and I hope you too are making the most of this fleeting period. To transition to the next stage, I am happy to announce the all-new MailerLite integration is MD4.9.5—which you can go download right now.

The new direct MailerLite integration in Marketers Delight 4.9.5 allows you to connect your email forms data from MailerLite directly into your WordPress site. By taking advantage of MD’s email forms, popups, and other optin features you can finally embed lists from MailerLite without any code.

A special thanks to MD fan favorite MasterHealer for his persistence to get this feature released, and for many other contributions by simply speaking up.

MD4.9.5 is waiting for you in your dashboards—go update now!

New updates to the Bookshelf

I just released MD4.9.4.3 (based on this forum thread) that adds a couple of enhancements to the MD Bookshelf. To see the bookshelf page in action go check out my personal blog and read the forum thread I linked to for instructions on how to use the new bookshelf enhancements in MD4.9.4.3.

The Bookshelf is my second favorite feature in MD (the Stream is just too much fun!) and I have some great updates I plan to build sometime soon. I won’t reveal much now, but the ideas are burning a hole in my mind and may turn the Bookshelf into my favorite feature once released!

Good copy makes sales (and summer wishes)

I hope you have all enjoyed these fleeting summer months. I am entering a new era in my own life after these hot months of personal growth, adventures, death, and collaboration. I realize the weight of that sentence and I only hope you are reminded of what this summer has been like for you.

MD is always moving.

New Books

Over at my personal site (which I just cleaned up for more regular blogging) I added a bunch of noteworthy books I have read throughout my life to my Bookshelf. I think this is a great display of the MD bookshelf feature, and I can’t wait to further develop it further!

Twitter update

What a busy week (and summer) it’s been in the MD Labs. Been buried under client work but I am making an effort today to catch up on any messages I’ve missed in the forums in the past week. I am not typically so busy that I get burned out of replying at the forums, so I shot a quick video on Twitter to get back into the groove.

Watch it over here, and give me a follow if you haven’t already! oops, taken down for technical difficulties. Just another reason why text > audio!
