“When even the brightest mind in our world has been
trained up from childhood in a superstition of any
kind, it will never be possible for that mind, in its
maturity, to examine sincerely, dispassionately, and
conscientiously any evidence or any circumstance which
shall seem to cast a doubt upon the validity of that
superstition. I doubt if I could do it myself.”

I did not know you could do this in WordPress… (new plugin!)

I’ve been using WordPress for a long time and to be honest, I always thought it was the best tool for the job. But today, I saw something that changed my mind (although I’m still using WordPress):

After seeing what this new plugin does, I don’t think I can ever go back to the “normal” WordPress editor. I didn’t even know it was possible to have this kind of a completely visual editor, but there it is (check the link for a demo video).

Before now, I never realized just how much time I was spending waiting for page reloads, while creating content in WordPress. You can save massive amounts of time with a “live” editor like this.

And what I love about this tool is that it doesn’t just replace the boring and clumsy old WordPress editor, it’s also a whole sales-page-building suite! If you build marketing pages and landing pages, this thing is brilliant!

Check it out here:

As I understand it, the offer for this plugin is only available for a couple of days, so make sure you get in before it’s too late.

Thank me later! 🙂
