The moment you press the Edit Website button from the bookmarks toolbar, the web page you are currently reading turns into an editable document - you can then edit text, move around images on the page or even remove them completely.
Though the edits are temporary and disappear the moment your reload that page, the feature is handy if you are printing web pages or even for making fake screenshots.

Watch the entire Wetpaint video campaign here. Don’t miss the videos about wiki syntax and font colors.
With these PC-vs-Mac style videos, Wetpaint is trying to convey a message that you need not be a geek or techie to edit (Wetpaint) wikis. Creative and effective.
