So the first step is confirming that you have status as a writer. Sign in to the site and if an EasyEdit button
appears in the upper left hand corner, you can continue with this tutorial. If it doesn't appear, contact the Site Administrator.
Caution: WetPaint mayconsistently does not work well with the latest version of Internet Explorer, so you might want to switch to another browser.

3. Click Save on the EasyEdit Toolbar and your changes appear.
TIP: WetPaint can be fussy when you want to reposition text by cutting and pasting into a new location on an IBM, so learn the following IBM shortcuts Control C to copy and Control V to paste.
