Greetings to all WackWallers out there. It has been quiet in our camp for so long but only because we were preparing a lot of candies for you. Let me whisper to your ear that we just secretly released an important update to all social networking sites powered by WackWall. Shhhh!

1) New interface customization tool

That’s what we’ve been working for so long. Go to your network -> Admin -> Appearance. Instead of the old basic tool we now have 6 pages of various tools designated to let you easily change the look and feel of your site. What is significant is that we not only give you ability to write custom CSS code, the tool itself is also powerful enough to control a lot of details. This is what you can’t find on any hosted social network service. But don’t take it for truth, try it out yourself!

2) Collection of pre-defined templates

Together with the new interface customization we are proud to introduce a nice collection of templates. You can choose a template and continue customizing it to make your site look unique. This collection will grow constantly because our designers work on new diverse templates non-stop. Also, in future we will make template import/export system so people can trade their own templates on our WackWall webmasters network.

3) Video sharing by YouTube

We are happy to introduce the initial implementation of video sharing for all WackWall networks using YouTube hosting. It works like any regular video sharing feature and only uses YouTube disk space to host the files and computing power to encode videos. This means that your network will not consume additional disk space to host the videos.

In future we will elaborate native WackWall video sharing so those who want will benefit from faster video processing and getting rid of YouTube label on video player.

4) New Site creation wizard

And the last but not the least is that we offer a new social network creation wizard. It now consists of only one page and makes it’s even easier to create your own social networking site for any purpose free with WackWall. Which is what we recommend you to do right now.

We are getting close to our first 1,000 networks barrier. So all WackWall webmasters out there, you can now run to your social network administration area to view changes and let your users share video on your site. As always, your feedback is much welcome at http://dev.wackwall.com/!
