So, you want a clan? But not just any clan, you want a huge clan, like a full website!
Well, now you can have a clan website!!

Please read ALL of the following-

If you already have a clan created, then please skip down to the Linked, *Rules, and then read everything downwards.
If you want some links to sites that can create clan sites, other than Wetpaint Wikis, then just look below, and then skip down to *Rules, and then read everything downwards.
If your clan site is not a Wetpaint Wiki, you are on your own. Our Clan Mods` are not required to help with the creation of clans that were not created using Wetpaint, but can be asked to help.

Getting Ready

The following are sites that are good sites to create clans on, but the following instructions are for wetpaint sites only.

Wetpaint Wikis

Guild Cafe`

Clan Tools
Clan Tools requires payment via Pay Pal, or Credit Card.
Clan Tools does not require you to select a game, but it gives you the option.
Clan Tools is a amazing clan site builder, and is worth the money if you put effort into your site.

ForumCo
ForumCo is a site that allows you to create forums, not sites, please keep that in mind.

Zoom Share

Clan Site Manager
CMSCSM is a great clan hosting site!
Free forums!
Many themes!
You really want to impress your visters?!visitors?!

------So, how do you start a clan website?
Well, you must think of a few thing before you start...

1. Keep in mind that if you want a lot of members quickly, following the rules that you are about to read would be smart, after all, you do want a nice large link to your site here on our Clans: Clan Page.
2. Are you sure you want to go through all the work of creating a site?
3. What are you going to do if your clan site isn't a hit?
4. How many users are you expecting to get?
5. Do you have a moderator on this site who is willing to help you build your site?
6. Have you answered all of these questions in your head yet?

If you have answered all of these questions, then you should now know how to get your clan up and running.

Instructions-

1. You must first get your site built before you can have any clan members, so just click here to get your site started. Make sure you answerer all of the questions carefully.
2. When choosing a name, make sure that its appropriate.
3. Think carefully as to what your URL address will be. You don't want it to long, but you do want it to be easy to remember.
4. Then just simply chose what category your site will be. I would chose other.
5. Then you have the "tell us who can edit your wiki" part. All you have to do is choose who can edit your clan pages. Registered user? Anonymous? Or make it so only writer ,(of your choosing) can edit your pages.
6. After you have answered these questions, you now have to chose how it will look at the start. Don't worry, you can change it later.
7. After that, you can then edit the name that appears at the top of your site. Or, you can make it so a image appears. If you are going to do an image, make sure that its more long than tall.
8. Then just go on to the next part. It asks you what you want your user name to be, and what you want your password. It can be the same as it is on this site.
9. After that, it asks if you want to invite people to your newly created site. You should invite at least one person, and select what there role will be. Make sure you send it to someone who will actually care.
10. Finally, your done!!! Now just wait for your site to load!

Of course, you probably want someone who know what to do to help you. Well, thats why its helpful to have a moderator as a friend. If you need "help" creating your site, just ask either a moderator, or an administrator, or even EliteAce, the creator or ministrator of this site.

Linked-

So, you have your site created, but need it linked to our site?
Well, just need to send the following information to one of SHMFC's Clan Mods`
Your-
Clans Name
Logo
Short Description
How to Join
clan Leader
Clan Leaders E-Mail

*Rules

There are rules though. If you want your site to be listed on this site, you will have to follow the following rules...

1. You will not, nor let any of your members, break any of the first four rules in SHMFC's COC. In fact, it will be very helpful for your users if you make a small Code-Of-Conduct of your own that includes the first four rules in this sites Code-Of-Conduct.
2. You must include at least one table/list of all your members. This helps people know who is, and isn't in your clan.
3. You need at least "one" moderator in your clan. You don't need the Mod` to be from SHMFC, but the Mod` you do get has to work on your site, but doesn't have to be apart of your clan the second you make it, eventual you will need a mod` though. Should a member of this site take notice that you don't have a mod`, and you have progressed very far with your site, the link to your clan will be canceled until notice. This is to prevent a website having no staff at all other than its creator.
4. You can not advertise that your clan is better than all others. You can say that your clan is a very good clan, and even that it is better than some clans(not all), but only as long as you don't directly state that its better than a specific clan.
5. You MUST have this site linked on your site. To do so, just follow the following steps-

Just copy and paste this link on your site :)www.strongholdmini-fanclub.wetpaint.com
