We have now decided to offer an affiliate program for iMap. You can become an affiliate of Guimkie and earn 15% of each sale that comes through you. If you are interested, then read through the below details and then sign up.

  • You will receive an HTML code which you can use to create links to our site. If someone clicks that link and later purchases iMap, you will receive 15% of iMap’s price.
  • The affiliate program is handled through E-Junkie. E-Junkie allows you to easily track your sales and keep an overview.
  • The earned affiliate shares are transferred to your PayPal account every 2 months. Currency for iMap and the affiliate earnings is the Euro.

If you wish to join this program, then please acknowledge the following:

  • The affiliate links may only take the form of HTML anchor links or image links. Nothing else is permitted.
  • The affiliate links must come from a proper website (like a personal blog or a tutorial website). Affiliate links may not come from link websites, ghost websites and other illegal and spam sites.
  • We reserve the right to cancel your affiliate program with us at any time and for whatever reason.

If you are interested, then go ahead and join our affiliate program.

Removal of Comment Forms

I have decided to remove the ability to add comments underneath tutorial posts. The basic reasons for this are:

  • Most comments are spam. Although I have Akismet installed, quite a lot of spam comes through. I am, quite frankly, tired of sorting through the spam.
  • Most comments are questions regarding the respective tutorial. I try to reply to most of the comments, but by adding more and more comments, everything becomes a huge mess. The number of comments shown on the page is beyond an amount someone can coordinate through.

It hurts to loose the interactivity between me and the viewers, but it is such a relief to no longer have to fight the spam.

Questions regarding tutorials can be posted in the Apple Discussion forums. See you there!

iMap 2.7 Beta

We have been working on a new version of iMap that is about to be released. There are a bunch of new features and enhanced ones that all need to be tested. If anyone wants to test drive these new features and help us finish them off, then feel free to contact us at the following email address: beta@guimkie.com.

Major changes to iMap 2.7 include:

  • iMap is project-based. You can now create a project for each site you have in iWeb.
  • You can now verify either by uploading the HTML file or adding a meta-tag.
  • Meta-Tags are being added 2x as fast with less errors.
  • iMap has been localized into German. Anyone interested in localizing iMap then please contact us at the above email address.

We are expecting to push this update out to everyone by October 19th.

Follow me on Twitter

I have recently (actually already a long while ago) joined Twitter and so I invite you all to follow me. Twitter is actually the reason of why this blog hasn’t been receiving any kind of new content. It just takes to incredibly long to post something. Twitter and Tumblr (my Tumbelog) are just more appropriate for lazy people like me. I hope to see you on Twitter and Tumblr.

iMap 2.6.3 available

I have just released an update for iMap. It includes the following changes:

  • “Create” button now works by hitting “Enter.”
  • Addition of meta-tags occasionally failed with Google Verification files. This has now been fixed..
  • Corrected “Help” menu items to include new video tutorials.
  • Enhanced speed connections with MobileMe/.Mac.

If you have problems updating, let me know. Keep in mind it’s always best to run the latest version of iMap.
