Build Your Own Online Community
Do you want a free place online to meet with family members or a group of friends? Wetpaint.com gives you free tools to easily create your own online web site forum. Not only can you share your ideas and pictures with one another but you can create your own online library of information. You can provide varying degrees of access to a small group of users or to the whole world. Depending on the permissions you allow for each person, they can add or edit the library of information.
What can I do with Wetpaint?
Here are some ideas:
- Create a family web site that is only visible to your family members and relatives. You can post a list of birthdays, update addresses and phone numbers as they change, share recipes, and show pictures from a recent vacation.
- Create a local club or group web site for your local church, sports team, or reading club. You can post a calendar of events, contact numbers, member pictures, and other resources that are of interest to your group. You can also use Wetpaint as a message board to help organize meeting times and locations. Take advantage of Wetpaint's email notification and RSS Feed features that will keep you up-to-date on the latest posts.
- Create a web site for your hobby. Share your knowledge and expertise and then allow anyone around the world to share in your expertise or even contribute to your web site.

Congratulations! You now have a web site! You can start inviting people to join your web site or you can skip this step and start playing around with the features. When you web site opens up for the first time, Wetpaint provides a pop-up window called 'Site Wizard'. You can use the Site Wizard to help you begin setting up additional pages, depending on the type of web site you would like to set up. Some of their suggestions include Parent-Teacher Group, Wedding, Book Club, and Group Project. If you look at the bottom right side of your home page, you will see Wetpaint also offers an 'Orientation'. This is a very good way to get familiar with how you can add comments, pictures, and new friends to your web site. Go for it. You'll quickly become a web page expert. All you have to do is get started.
