Welcome! Wikis are websites that everyone can build together. It's easy!

June 2007


The first day of summer is just around the corner, and if you're like us you are dusting off the sunglasses and trying to grab some quality time in the sun. Here at Wetpaint we have also been busy adding features and improvements to make your wiki shine. Read on...


Fresh Wetpaint Features

Add a little color to your wiki

What's that new option on the EasyEdit Toolbar, you ask? Why that is a font color picker! Adorn your Wetpaint pages by applying any color of the rainbow and beyond to your text
it's just another great and easy way to customize your wiki.

New Wetpaint home page

Check out our new look at www.wetpaint.com! We designed the Wetpaint homepage to make it even easier to explore the fantastic communities being created in the Wetpaint network every day. Also spotlighted are some of the top contributors and most popular wikis organized by category — Sports & Recreation, Gaming, Business, Education, Lifestyles, Hobbies, Technology, and more. Surfing around the featured wikis is an excellent way to see what others are doing and pick up some ideas for your own site.

Know your numbers
Wondering how your site is performing? Well, wonder no more! Along with Site Meter, you can use Google Analytics to track your site's performance. Sign up for a free Google Analytics account, install its tracking code on your Wetpaint site in the "Settings" section, and you'll be able to track unique visits, page views, search phrases, visits and refers.

OpenID integration

Wetpaint is now proud to be an early supporter of the OpenID standard of online identity authentication. The OpenID service allows users to create a single ID and password that they can use to manage access to accounts across all sites that support OpenID. What does this news mean for you? That people who have an OpenID can now quickly and easily become a member of your Wetpaint wiki!
