Keeping Visitors Informed with Maintenance Mode

This Plugin will allow you to show a holding screen whilst you make changes to the layout of your blog. I have made a video that shows this in action as still photos would not really show it in action.

You can fully customise the message that appears on the screen and even add images and video to the screen if you so wish. Which actually could be a good idea if you knew the time you had allocated to the upgrade, simply pick a film that is a few minutes longer.

An update on this plugin, you can actually ad videos to the safety screen as well, thus you could actually drive traffic to this page and turn it into an event in itself.
