BlinkCampaign v2 Release

If you're wondering if we were on a long holiday or simply won the lottery (though we wish you were right on both counts), we've been busy finishing up on BlinkCampaign v2, which was officially released this morning.

Along with a new, cleaner look, usability tweaks and performance upgrades, we've addressed other key areas that you've been asking about.

So what's new?

Loads actually. Some of which you won't be able to see (such as delivery and code tweaks), some of which you'll feel (performance), and some which are important to you (white labelling and customization).

New Dashboards

Less clutter, more functions, quicker loading. The new Dashboards in BlinkCampaign boasts way faster loading speeds, as well as a quick links box to help you get to your tasks more easily.

Improved Performance

For the tech geeks, we've overhauled all the markup and optimized the entire application, both on the frontend, as well as our delivery engine.

By the way, we've dropped support for IE6 for its horrendous performance and lack of good CSS support. We hope the browser dies a quick death soon.

Customizing Your Signup Process

Back in 2008, we released some APIs for you to create a signup form on your own website to allow site visitors to signup straight into BlinkCampaign's subscriber lsits. We've added the ability for you to define your own custom error page for the signup process, just in case the user somehow gets an error along the way.

All BlinkCampaign Pages Reflect Your Domain

Yep, we know that some of the system messages had our domain in it. We've cleaned it all up now and your unsubscribe, opt-in, error pages etc, all use your domain instead of ours. On top of that, all system emails (such as your client retrieving their password) will be using your name and email address instead of ours.

Email Tokens Are No Longer Case Sensitive

No worries though, your existing templates will still work. All BlinkCampaign tokens are now case-insensitive to prevent coding errors and errors in generating those dynamic content or links.

What's Next?

There's a whole ton of other stuff that we've done which we won't list here and bore you with. All through this month, you'll be seeing little upgrades and improvements along the way so be sure to watch out for them!
