The first paragraph explains what this plugin does. It seems like you "YOU suck at life" for not reading instructions. I don't know how you get around in life not reading instructions and <a href="http:\/\/uncyclopedia.wikia.com\/wiki\/Assume" target="_blank">assume</a> everything. Here is what the plugin does, reiterated for Jason and the like: 'If you are a new user and you use any form of advertisement blocking (e.g. AdBlock) on your browser, you would have been greeted with a neat little message saying “Doh! It appears that you are using AdBlock software…”. The purpose of this post is to show you how to create such a message for your own website.' @Jason,

Way to fail.. any attempt at getting around a users settings just makes that person not trust your site, what else are you trying to get around? In short if this site has any ads, your plug-in blows and you suck at life for wasting the energy..

Instead of telling the user to turn off adblock, text based ad links in a proportionally sized div could be subbed in to where your ads would previously appear.

I still haven't gotten the chance to package this JS into a WordPress plugin. I'm planning to set aside a few hours this weekend to do so. Hopefully I should be able to release a one-click activate WordPress plugin version of this early next week. Welcome back Rosyidi!
