Preview before you paste- Linx on your blog

“I say Linx for everyone!”

The engineers at Chitika have been hard at work making some cool changes to one of our ad products: Chitika | Linx. In addition to making appearance changes to the ad unit, they gave the code panel a pretty nice face lift. Once I heard this, I jumped at the chance to be the first one to test it out to make sure it is usable for everyone. I went in and played around with the code on a test blog of mine and came up with these issues right away:

1. It was completely unclear how Linx was going to even look on my blog and I wanted to know before pasting in the code.

2. There needed to be different codes for different types of blogging platforms like: WordPress, Blogger and Typepad.

A day later, the issues were fixed. Now the code for each blogging platform is already generated for you -just copy it! There’s also a cool preview tool that shows you exactly how Linx will look on your blog. All you have to do is type in your blog URL and a live preview appears like magic right in the code panel, you have to try it out 🙂

So how has the appearance of Linx improved? What do you think? You can check it out live because Chitika | Linx is now open to all users! Log in, click the “Linx code” tab and type in your blog URL to see how it will look 🙂

Is Linx missing something? If you tell me I may be able to get the engineers to add new features to it! Comments are open!
