Explaining Wetpaint InjectedThis is a featured page


While many web users are familiar, if not practiced, at adding comment posts to blogs and discussion forums, wiki-style content creation using Wetpaint Injected might be a new concept for visitors to your site.

Happily, educating your site membership about wiki editing need not be hard. The most important things to keep top of mind are:
  • Establish clearly and enthusiastically that their contributions are wanted!
  • Help channel your users to a relevant and resonant project where they can readily pitch in and add value.
  • Let them know how to get started and provide them with access to help, should they need it.
Following are several examples of how Flixster.com has contextually explained Wetpaint Injected to its passionate users:
