Friday Favorites – Summer Sale and More Updates to Imagekind
Friday is here again! And on Fridays, I share some of my Friday Favorites. There have been some great things happening around the site including some very useful updates and a special Summer Sale! Also, several of our members’ artwork was featured in one of the leading photography blogs! Check out all the sweet happenings below!
Forum Improvements
Yesterday, we rolled out some improvements to the forums which now allow you to keep up with your watched and group discussions much easier. We’ve added two new tabs to make it easier for you to stay up to date with the conversations in the Community that matter to you most. Check out the forum, to see the new tabs in action!
More Updates to Storefronts
At the beginning of the week we released some more updates to the Imagekind Storefronts that make it even easier to customize. With the new updates, you don’t need to know any CSS to change the colors of your Storefront, simply select the color of your choice from the color options. There are tons of options available, so you can really make your Imagekind Storefront truly customized.
We’ve also made it easier for shoppers to find your Storefront through the drop down menu listed next to your screen name. You can read about these and other updates in the announcement post.
Imagekind Summer Sale!
Love the sun? Celebrate summer with 20% off custom framing at Imagekind! Simply use promo code IKSummer09 at checkout to automatically take 20% off the frame when you choose to custom frame it. But hurry, because the promotion expires Monday, July 20 at Midnight PST. You can find all the details about this promotion here.
If you’re an artist on Imagekind, be sure to pass the promotion along to your shoppers! You can easily copy and paste the image URL to your website, blog, or (better yet!) your Storefront! That way, your shoppers can take advantage of this special summer sale too. Also, don’t forget to share it with your followers on Twitter and Facebook!

In the couple of years that I’ve been with Imagekind I’ve seen steady improvement in wide variety of features. The whole site layout is more visually appealing, the upload problems are greatly reduced and the speed is much improved, the site appears to be much more stable, it’s easier to use, has a better search engine and more search features like searching by color, a better forum, art groups, and it’s easier to work with galleries. I’m sure there are a lot of other improvements, those are just the ones that come to mind as I write this. And kudos to the Imagekind employees, who have always acted in a very professional manner when dealing with an often difficult and demanding group of users. Thanks.
Now, to add balance to things, I’ll have to come up with something to gripe about
Thanks Ed! We are glad to keep improving and making the site even better!
