Here's the start of our FAQ. If there's something missing or incorrect please add it! This document only gets stronger with each addition.
Q. What is a Wetpaint site? A. Wetpaint sites are click-and-type websites that are easy to start and even easier to expand because you can invite anyone you like to add text, photos, links and other content to your Wetpaint site. To add or edit content, all you need to do is click the EasyEdit button that activates an editing toolbar similar to what you'd see in programs like Microsoft Word.
Q. What do people use Wetpaint sites for?
A. Wetpaint sites can be used for all kinds of things. Here are just a few:
- Personal Uses - You might want to start a Wetpaint site where you post photos for your family and friends to see. This is an easy way to keep people up to speed on what's happening in your life and helps you avoid sending out tons of email.
- Reference - Are you an expert on fly-fishing or do you have the inside scoop on all the best Hollywood gossip? You could start a Wetpaint site which is an online reference for like-minded people. Imagine passionate online discussions about the latest Brangelina gossip or the latest trends in fly-fishing lures with people from around the world.
- Clubs & Organizations - Are you the one tasked with getting the local PTA group online and up to speed? It's easy to start a site for your group using Wetpaint. And even better - you can delegate. Anyone (or anyone you designate depending on the permission scheme you choose) can edit Wetpaint pages so it frees you up from having to do everything.
Q. How do I get my own Wetpaint site? A. It’s easy to start your own Wetpaint site. Just go to
Wetpaint and follow the three-step process.
- Choose a name for your Wetpaint site
- Pick a design from the selection of templates (you can customize the masthead area with a logo or image if you want)
- Create a Wetpaint account
All told, the tree-step process will take you about 1 minute to start your Wetpaint site. You can then start adding content, customize your profile page, and invite others to help you build the site.
Q. How are Wetpaint sites different from other websites? A. The biggest difference is that Wetpaint sites are EASY. All you need to know if how to click and type. Some other sites expect you to know complicated syntax or programming knowledge.
Q. Does it cost anything to get my own Wetpaint site? A. Wetpaint sites are free. Wetpaint places contextual ads on the page which are relevant to the content of the page. These ads offset the costs of running the Wetpaint servers.
Q. Does Wetpaint support other languages? A. You can pretty much use any language you like on your Wetpaint site. At the current time, however, all Wetpaint tools and Help content are only in English. Shortly, we expect Wetpaint to be fully internationalized.
