Take Your Swicki For A Spin-Eurekster Swicki Example

In the previous step, I showed you how to get the code for your own personal Swicki. You might have noticed at the bottom of the page you were given the option to "take your Swicki for a spin!"

The above screenshot is of my own personal Swicki. I like how Eurekster gives you preview options; however, I think it's a bit awkward to have the preview options at this stage. Perhaps it would be better to be able to preview your Swicki before code creation, so one does not have to keep going back and forth between the two. Again, Swickis are in beta mode and these kind of bugs are to be expected. Eurekster invites feedback-in fact, at the bottom of every single Swicki page you'll see a link to email Swicki support with your own thoughts about Swickis.
