Displays a custom welcome message to new visitors and a different message to return visitors using a simple cookie.

What Would Seth Godin Do lets you greet first-time visitors with a tailored welcome message — like an invitation to subscribe to your RSS feed — and show a different (or no) message to people who have already been to your site before.
The plugin stores a small cookie that counts how many times a visitor has been to your site. While the count is at or below the “# of Repetitions” threshold you configure, the new visitor message is shown. Once the visitor exceeds that threshold, the return visitor message appears instead.
Inspired by Seth Godin’s 2006 blog post: …in the middle, Starting.
Features:
- Separate, fully customisable messages for new and returning visitors.
- Configurable repetition threshold — choose how many visits count as “new”.
- Choose whether messages appear before or after post content, or only where you place the
template tag. - Option to show or hide messages on Pages (vs. Posts only).
- Exclude specific post or page IDs from showing any message.
- No external dependencies; lightweight vanilla JavaScript.
