How can I make Pop-Ups?

    Hi,

    I've been searching for at least an hour now to find a script/code which lets me add a Pop-Up to my site like the one over at this site (http://www.johnchow.com/). I want the same effect where its similar to lightbox but to automatically open up when the page is visited. I just don't know where to look anymore :/

    Thanks!

    Have you tried a programmer?

    If it is too expensive for you, try a college student.

    That's who I use.

    He's pretty good, and cheap.

    If you have ever been to SitePoint, they have a pop up. But it comes up slowly, from the bottom.

    You probably seen it.

    it's going to get blocked my the browser anyway unless you pay for a good programmer and no one likes pop ups I think 1:1000 people will actually look at a pop up.

    This is a cheap and easy way to do a popup just like that:

    http://www.fasterinternetmarketing.com/FasterIM-OptIn/

    It's a wordpress plugin and makes everything simple. There's a free version, but even the upgraded version is only $20 or so.

    Or, if you already use Aweber for your email management, you can create your opt-in forms in pop-up boxes through their interface. Then just add the Javascript code to your site.

    I'm not looking to use it for Wordpress. I just want a simple LightBox Pop-Up the moment the page is visited, the only thing I have so far is for the Lightbox Pop-Up to appear when a link is clicked, but I want it to auto-load on pagevisit.
    Just so you know, Its unblockable. The LightBox Pop-Up does not open a new window, therefore your browser wouldn't detect it, come back when you know what I'm talking about because your post is useless as you are.

    I already got this for free, I just wish you didn't try to sell me something that I can get for free. :mad:

    I am still looking for a script that can do this, the moment the page is visited. :(

    I don't want the Pop-Up to be a New Window. I want it like the lightbox which loads up within the page (unblockable). Just like the site I used as an example. :( Still no luck on finding one.
