PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Allow html. You could keep it the way it is but allow wetpaint to not totally reject html.. That way those who don't have html knowledge can get along just fine on wetpaint but those who do know html are also just as happy.

I wants so badly to make a click-able image. It would be highly useful on my websites.

This has been suggested many times before, but I think it bears repeating. Addition of a function to add anchor tags and/or insert a table of contents in a page would vastly increase the accessibility of Wetpaint. As it currently stands, the only real organizational navigation is in the sidebar and that's limited to between pages. For sites with large amounts of content, navigating within that content can become cumbersome if it is broken up between separate pages; conversely, if content is all placed in a single page, finding it becomes difficult. Addition of anchor tags or a ToC would alleviate that situation a bit allowing users to navigate within a page and therefore clean up some of the sidebar congestion. Furthermore, I think that enabling pages with larger amounts of organized content (and therefore limiting required inter-page navigation) would enhance the visiting experience for users with slow computers/connections.

The FAQs actually state that one of the best practices for putting together a page is "putting everything above the fold." A ToC is one of the purest examples of that philosophy, by giving users a quick rundown of everything of interest within a page. I think this functionality really ought to be one of Wetpaint's primary development goals if it currently isn't (as it stands on the Make a Suggestion poll, it's running pretty far behind the top three).
