The Wetpaint Community |
Version 10 - view current page
If creating a website is a new experience for you, it may seem like there is a great deal to learn. The Wetpaint staff is here to help, however, Wetpaint also has a community of moderators and members who have encountered the same questions or challenges as you!
How We Interact
Wetpaint websites are designed to encourage interaction through the use of comments on the bottom of pages. Comments are used like a forum on Wetpaint Central and the Moderator Lounge to ask questions, comment on features, post tips and tricks, and discuss a wide range of topics related to Wetpaint websites.
Sometimes asking a question can be intimidating! No one is here to criticize you for asking a question, especially since many moderators had the same questions when they first started their sites. When several questions are posted anonymously, it can be easy for the community to miss a question. This happens occasionally when several questions and answers are posted with a similar heading. No one is ignoring your question, it's just mistaken for one that was already answered! In addition, signing in will make it easy to find out when your question has been answered, because an email will be sent when someone has replied.
A specific question with detailed information is more likely to elicit the answer you need. If you have a question about the visual design of your website, for example, providing an URL might make it easier for others to help you.
