Release Preview Pages and Updated CSS

We’re happy to announce that our new release is coming very soon, possibly even tomorrow.

To help you prepare for the release, we’ve put together a .zip file of the updated page experiences and CSS file.

If you’re using the KickApps platform, please review the .zip file. The upcoming release includes a lot of new functionality, so we’ve updated some of the underlying HTML and CSS. The .zip files will allow you to update your own custom CSS rules in advance of the launch.

The new release will only affect your custom CSS rules. Your existing header and footer HTML will remain intact when the new release is put up.

Pete was helpful enough to write these instructions for using the .zip files:

To use the .zip files, you’ll need a web browser and a text editor. For each HTML page in the package,

1. Open up the .htm file in your favorite web browser(s).
2. Open up the main.css file in your favorite text editor.
3. Update the main.css file as desired.
4. Once you are happy with your updates, move onto the next .htm file and repeat steps a through c.
5. Once all pages have been customized, upload the main.css file to your own web server, renamed to something unique, such as main_10.css. (Do not overwrite any existing KickApps-related CSS files you may be using.)
6. KickApps will send email all registered affiliates to let you know that we’ve officially put our new release live. If you’re not registered, email support@kickapps.com and we’ll add you to the list.
7. When the new release launches, log into your KickApps Affiliate Center and go to Site Settings -> Site Styles. Put the URL to the CSS file you uploaded in the CSS Rules text area (e.g. http://www.mysite.com/main_10.css). Click Save Site Style
8. Voila! Your site’s styles for KickApps have been applied!
9. Oh, Be sure to check out this great new feature called groups that “Marky” Mark McComb and “Prickly” Pete Clark did up. It’s really the bomb!

(Please remove step i.)

Thanks Pete!
