## Description

This plugin shows a message on your weblog when a visitor visits your site for the
first time.
 They can either click the message away, or push the button ‘Do not 
show this again’. After pushing the button, there will be added an entry to the 
database which makes sure that the message won’t show up anymore to the visitor 
with that IP-address.

Everything is fully configurable via the WordPress backend.

## Installation

Installing this plugin is very easy. Just upload the plugin, and activate it.

To change the title, message and buttons, simple go to the WordPress backend, and
go to _First Visit Settings_.
 You can change aspects of this plugin up there.

## FAQ

  My message-box won’t shop up!

Did you activate the plugin, and did you configure it?

  The bar shows up, but there is no text in it!

Ah, then you have to setup the text first. Simple go to _First Visit Settings_ in
the WordPress backend, and set up the variables.

  I think I have found a bug!

Please email me the details of your bug, email them to **thijmenstavenuiter@gmail.
