Introducing FaqMaker

Hi All,

I'm happy to finally be able to talk openly about my newest plugin FaqMaker.



This plugin is a case of me 'scratching my own itch'. While I love my customers the third time you answer the same question you start wondering "How can I make this better". I started by doing FAQ's in styled text but somehow that didn't work for me -- For instance I wanted a way to show which items were new or modified and I thought it would be neat to provide a RSS feed so people could monitor as I added new items (Apple does this and it's quite effective)

Finally I wanted linkability -- I wanted every entry to have a link that I could send to people to answer questions and I wanted ever entry to be directly linkable from within RW. Initially built for internal use I've been enhancing and adding to it over the last months and It's ready for a broader audience.

Key Features:

  • A variety of output styles
  • A variety of built in 'themes' or build your own (by the way, I left out the zune theme but if you really want it let me know and I'll send it to you!)
  • Automatically generates RSS Feeds and a PDF version to go on your site
  • Built in integration with the fantastic js-kit for entry ratings & comments

If you have to put information on the web (well, I guess that's all of us) it's a great way to generate FAQ's to help people find information (and to help minimize the number of times you answer the same question!)

Ok, enough talk. To get FaqMaker cruise to my
FaqMaker site.



The 'free' version allows 4 faq entries. Of course since it's still in 'beta' (after a verrrrry long alpha) I'm offering a special RW Forum 25% off coupon
EASYFAQLABOR But wait, theres more, until Tuesday september 4 if you buy FaqMaker and use the coupon EASYFAQLABOR you can add any of my other plugins and get that same 25% discount -- Just make sure your cart includes FaqMaker and the whole order is 25% off with the coupon code.

Finally I wanted to share that I'm not done with it yet. There are some things that I still need to be added such as greater control over the content & size of the 'tooltips' option as well as a at least one more output 'type' so now is a great time to let me know what you think.

-John
