It's generally not a good idea to promote more than one or two members to administrator status on your site. Why? Administrators have the same level of access to site settings as the site creator does. Make sure that you give users administrator status only if they are proven to be very trustworthy and responsible.

When posting a question in the discussion forum, use a subject line that summarizes what your post is about. Avoid using a vague subject line that just says something like "help!". Be more specific, it will help your post to stand out and you'll make it easier for others to actually assist you.

Today is the official release day of Firefox 3.0, and we're happy to say that we fully support it at Wetpaint. We've been using it for months and found it to be faster, smaller, and easier to use than version 2. We expect adoption of FF3 to be tremendous and we encourage all Wetpaint users to take a look.

The Firefox team is trying to set a world record for the most downloads in a single day. Starting at 1pm eastern (10am pacific), you can download Firefox 3 and help set a world record!

Can I delete my account? Not exactly, but you can Cancel Membership to any site you have created or joined. If you were to cancel membership to every site you are a member of you would essentially have no presence on Wetpaint. The advantage of this method is that you can always change your mind and reactivate your account by joining a site. See the Cancel Membership page for details on how this feature works.

To save from adding more threads or even more pages to a wiki about the same things that are all ready on that wiki. Use the "Search this wiki" box (top left on every wiki) to search the wiki for a particular piece of information. This will help the Moderators and up for that wiki, so that they don't have to answer the same question on three different threads.

A link. There are ways to make your links better looking and more useful. You can change the color of links to take away that dull blue. You can also rename your links so they are more helpful than just click here. Take a look at what you can do in a few seconds:

If you cancel membership to a site and then re-join the site you will lose any permissions status you had. If you were the site creator, you would then be just a lowly registered user. The lesson: Don't cancel membership unless you are sure you do not want to be part of the site! You can learn how to cancel membership to a site on the Delete a Site page.

Are you getting angry when you make a table? Do you want the same color in one box and in some other box?
Get angry no more! Just copy the color code (you can find this code at the bottom of the box where you pick the colors) & paste the code in that little code box &, ta-da!!! You've got the same color every time!

They say the way to put animated pictures is to copy them instead of uploading them. But did you know that you can upload them & they still work? So if you want a animated picture in your photo gallery, that way you don't have to copy & paste every time, do the same thing you do when uploading any picture.

While in EasyEdit mode you can create a table with an invisible border, which fills up the whole page to create a background colour that page. Then just add the content for that page inside the table to have the background colour behind the content.

For more detail on how to do this, take a look at this thread: http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/thread/1463479/Control+of+page+design
