How do you wiki here?
Jun 16 2010, 5:51 PM EDT | Post edited: Jun 16 2010, 5:51 PM EDT
I followed a video on creating a wiki on WetPaint and so I went to www.wetpaint.com but that page doesn't even mention Wikis.
Do you not host wikis anymore? Where does one go on your site to create a wiki? Do you find this valuable?

Hi Steve.
Go back to the www.wetpaint.com site and in the upper right corner there is a large GO button. If you click on that button you will be on your way to create your own wiki.
Come back to this site and read through the FAQ section under HELP in the navigational menu to the left, for assistance on the tools and operational procedures you will need to be familiar with in order to create a great wiki.

"Hi Steve.
Go back to the www.wetpaint.com site and in the upper right corner there is a large GO button. If you click on that button you will be on your way to create your own wiki.

Not really. First of all, the Go button is in a box titled "Create a free website", so this would not lead me to believe this is where I start to create a Wiki. In fact, the Go button takes me to a sign in screen which still doesn't say anything about Wikis. So I created an account (that's how I got here, right?) and the first page still says nothing about wikis. I find the site pretty user-unfriendly for the inquiring mind.

Come back to this site and read through the FAQ section under HELP in the navigational menu to the left, for assistance on the tools and operational procedures you will need to be familiar with in order to create a great wiki.

The FAQ page has a large number of topics / links, none of which have the word 'wiki'

I finally see the Search box and enter 'create a wiki' there and find a useful page.

"http://www.wetpaint.com/wiki?wikiName=&wikiUrl=&zone=cyoGo"
Not really. That is not an intuitive URL to have to enter; and besides, it just sends me to the sign up screen. My whole point is one cannot find a pointer to creating a wiki anywhere easily; finally in the FAQ suggested by CryingDove, doing a search, I found a decent starting point.

Mumble mumble grumble.

Actually, the page linked to from searching "create a wiki" has no useful links or information.

Mumble grumble. Do you find this valuable?
