Spring has finally sprung and new Wetpaint features are springing up all over!
Fresh Wetpaint Features
Configurable Page Ordering
You can now customize your Wetpaint wiki navigation – alphabetical, numerical, hierarchical, or totally random order – it's now up to you to decide. To change a page's order in the navigation, select "Move page" from the Manage Page dropdown menu in the Page Toolbox. In the dialog box that appears, click the "Select Page Order" button and then use the Move Up/Move Down controls to position the page where you want it. Confirm the new order by clicking the "Set Page Order" button. Learn more about this feature in Wetpaint Central.
Person-to-Person Messaging
Composing one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many messages right on your Wetpaint wiki with the new site messaging feature is a great way to get the word out to your wiki community! To send a message to another member, simply click on the recipient's username and select the "Send Message" option from the menu. To browse a list of all site users, access the address book feature by clicking on the "To:" button in your message. Additionally, moderators can send broadcast-style messages to every user of a site when they need to make announcements about the site. Learn more about this feature in Wetpaint Central.
More Attachment Storage
Save more content to your Wetpaint wiki than ever before! You can now attach up to 20 megabytes of files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF documents, and more) to your Wetpaint site. To attach a file, look for the "Add an attachment" icon in the Page Toolbox. (You'll need to be signed in to use this feature.) Learn more about this feature in Wetpaint Central.
Cool Feature Reminder: Website Traffic Reports
Did you know you can receive traffic reports for your wiki site through Site Meter? Site Meter is a free service you can use with your Wetpaint site to get traffic reporting. Signup is free and easy. Learn more in your site's settings area by clicking on "Site Statistics."Wetpaint Site of the Month: Shaken, Not Stirred Fact: The first screen version of James Bond was played by an American. You didn't know that? You would have if you visited James Bond Wiki. This killer site contains everything you need to know about 007: the Bond girls, the cars, the movie trailers, the posters, the theme songs, and more. |
Wetpaint Contributor of the Month Cindy, AKA "Paint Chip," is the creator of Paint Splatters. She's created the ultimate resource for all the Wetpaint site creators who want to give their site a little visual pizzazz! Cindy has created a library of custom graphical elements to match each Wetpaint design style, from Minimalist to Girlie. Amazing! Our props to you, Cindy! Paint on! |
