Redirect to Google mobile.
Nov 18 2011, 11:24 PM EST | Post edited: Nov 18 2011, 11:24 PM EST
Can I add a redirect link to my Wetpaint site, so that when someone sees me on Googles new mobile service, it will redirect them to my Wetpaint site? Do you find this valuable?

The redirect would have to be made at the Google mobile service. You are better apt to get a correct answer to your question in the help section on Google. Do you find this valuable?

Mappings are restricted to sub-domain level only, such as www.example.com, wiki.example.com, or support.example.com. You can't map your domain to what is known as a naked domain, such as http://mysite.wetpaint.com.

This would mean you would have to create an account with a Domain Service provider such as Godaddy or Dotster and selecting a custom domain name (alias). These services are inexpensive. Once a custom domain name is created then that www.yoursite.com address must be submitted to Wetpaint via your Wetpaint wiki under the Settings link at the top of any page of your wiki. On the Site Settings page, there is a tab that reads "Updates". Click on that link and it will bring you to another page. When on the updates settings page, click on "Custom Web Address" link. From there you can enter the custom url address received from the Doman Service provider. Follow the rest of the instructions on that following steps on that page. After the process is complete with changing the Cname part of your wiki, when the http://yoursitename.wetpaint.com will be directed to the http://www.yoursitename.com provided by your domain service.

Caution, when using custom domains. There are two situations that can render you wiki inaccessible.

1. The custom domain name service has to be renewed before its expiration date. If the domain name expires, you will not be able to access your Wetpaint wiki.
2. The Cname on your wiki will have to be changed if you decide to drop the custom domain name or you will not be able to access your wiki.

See this page for more information on Custom Domain URLs.
