 | | | Wetpaint Update for March 2008
 Hello Wetpainters, What do you think of the awesome new look of your Wetpaint site?
Based on feedback from YOU, our fabulous wiki creators and members, we've added features to make Wetpaint sites more social and to provide more formatting control over a larger portion of the page. For the quick lowdown on these changes, check out our video demo, or read on. | | | | | | | | | | | Fresh Coats | | | | | | | To provide a wider editing canvas, the tools formerly housed in the right column of your Wetpaint site have been relocated. Access to your profile, messages, etc. is now located in the navigation bar above the WYSIWYG area, and the key content editing tools from the Page Toolbox are aligned horizontally to the right of the EasyEdit button. For all your page creation needs, look to the "Add page" option, now situated at the foot of the navigation menu! How much do you love that wide open editing space?

"What's new?" dashboard | | | | | This new activity dashboard contains site-wide notifications of changes to pages and threads. Additionally it presents a number of community-oriented updates such as friend connections, sent compliments, and new members.
Don't want your activities broadcast? You can elect to remove your activity from the What's New area by updating the corresponding preference in your profile settings area.

Site Members Page Redesign | | | | |  The Members directory (now accessible from the Members link in the global site navigation bar) has received a much-needed facelift! Access it to easily filter members by role or friend status. Sort (yes, sort!) the member list by number of page edits and threads contributed as well as by join date, most recent activity, or username. Member information is displayed in individual account cards -- like the one pictured here -- with an at-a-glance detailing of the member's vital stats.
| | | | |  | | | | Site of the Month |  | | Wetpainters of the Month | | | | | | | This month we feature not one, but two special Wetpainters. Twins1729 is actually two sisters (twins, in fact) sharing a username. They are uber-members of the CSI fan site, as well as creators of the wildly popular and high-profile Luke and Noah site, dedicated to the popular couple on the soap As the World Turns. | | | |
| | |  | | | | Tell us what you think! | | | | | | | | We hope you are pleased with the features in this release!
We expect things to tweak things here and there as we receive and react to feedback from you.

| | | | | | | Promote your site | | | | |
The No. 1 question we receive from Wetpaint site creators is "How do I get more people to join my site?" So we decided to create a new section for site creators and admins to provide guidance on how to drive contribution and more traffic to your site.
This new section is chock-full of tips such as how to:  | apply a custom domain | | | optimize for search engine discovery | | | track inbound and outbound links | When signed in, you can access this new area by clicking "Promote" next to "My Profile" in the horizontal navigation bar.
Use the site promotion feature to help make your Wetpaint wiki an even greater success!
