This is very usefull! Now it's much easier and faster to get a unique swicki.
Together with the other "template" options each swcki owner can build his own portal.
Good work Swicki team!

Well, this is nice, but you have to give us the option to customize colors of adsense ads, too.
I know that there is an option to write you a mail about that, but your support section is extremelly slow, and getting answer from it, is like to get a Bingo.
So, best way would be to give us a optine to customize that alone.
And please, do something with MSA ads, I just can get how extremelly related ads on my swicki get MSA ad, and not relevant ad, maybe you should include alternate URL or something, dont know, but please just fix that.
THAAAANKS

Tim,
Thanks for the feedback. Customizing adsense is a good idea and we have it on our list of features to implement. (We've got a lot of other features on the list, so it may take a little while).
We have no control over the adsense ads - we just show them. If you want to block an advertiser, you can use Google's interface for that purpose.
Hope that helps.
