THIS PLUGIN IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED BECAUSE THIS ONE IS, WELL, COOLER: http://tinyurl.com/3m46xjf

Based on the jQuery plugin by the amazing Steve Fenton, this plugin creates a slick footer on your site what fades in when the page is loaded. It was created by Pingable.org. Documentation is available here

You can adjust the color, opacity and size of the footer which will stick to the bottom of the browser window, regardless of where the user scrolls on your page.

This is a terrific option for drawing attention to important updates, asking users to follow you on Twitter, or virtually unlimited uses.

This plugin can also be used to:

  • Encourage user conversion/action
  • Prompt social media following like Twitter, RSS, etc.
  • Indicate a new service/page/post
  • Share important site news
  • Offer incredibly valuable advertising space
