We're excited to offer Slickstream to all creators free of charge and hope everyone takes advantage of what it provides. Here’s a little more about what Slickstream does and how the most popular features will improve visitor engagement and revenue for your site.
You can designate a specific post to become a "pinned recommendation". This means this designated post will appear first in the filmstrips with have a small "pin" indicator and a slightly different background color to draw visitors' attention to it. You can also set an expiration date for this pinned post or leave the expiration date blank if you'd like to keep the pin indefinitely.
To pin a post, go to Config in your portal. Select the Site Wide tab, then select Recommendations.
The widget color is used for all Slickstream components. To change the color, go to Config in your portal. Select the Site Wide tab, then select General.
