Multi-Site Management: One Account, Many Voices

You are not one person.

Or rather, you are one person, but you contain multitudes. You have a professional self, a creative self, a hobbyist self. You have a voice for work, a voice for writing, a voice for the weird experiments you tinker with on the weekends.

Most platforms force you to choose. One identity. One feed. One brand.

Jottings doesn't.

The Compartmentalization Problem

I talk to a lot of people who want to start writing, and I hear the same hesitation: Where do I put this thought?

A developer wants to share quick technical insights but also write about philosophy and travel. Should they mix them on one blog? Their followers came for coding, not existentialism.

A designer wants a portfolio site but also a personal journal about their design process. Do they live on the same site or different ones?

A researcher wants to publish findings on one domain but keep personal notes separate.

The traditional answer is to create multiple accounts across multiple platforms. But that's exhausting. You're managing several logins, several paywalls, several algorithms working against you.

With Jottings, you get one account. Multiple sites.

Different Sites, Same Account

When you sign up for Jottings, you get one account. But you're not limited to one site.

Create a second site. A third. Each one gets its own subdomain (yourname.jottings.me, coding.jottings.me, woodworking.jottings.me). Each one is completely independent:

  • Own theme and settings - One site can be dark and minimal; another can be bright and playful.
  • Separate RSS feeds - Your tech readers get /coding/feed.xml. Your life philosophy readers get the main feed.
  • Individual custom domains - Upgrade one site to a custom domain without touching the others.
  • Own metadata and SEO - Each site has its own title, description, author bio, and social links.
  • Independent jots and history - No crosstalk between sites. Clean separation.

You manage everything from one dashboard. You log in once. You own all of it.

Real-World Use Cases

The Full-Stack Developer

Create three sites:

  • yourname.jottings.me - Personal blog about life, travel, ideas
  • dev.jottings.me - Technical tutorials, code snippets, engineering thoughts
  • projects.jottings.me - A log of side projects you're building

Your tech audience goes to dev. Your friends check yourname. You're not compromising anyone's experience, and you're not limiting yourself to one voice.

The Designer With a Process

Create two sites:

  • yourname.jottings.me - Portfolio and case studies (eventually a custom domain)
  • process.jottings.me - A daily design journal. Quick sketches, learnings, inspiration.

The portfolio stays polished. The journal stays raw. Both tell the story of who you are.

The Researcher

Create two sites:

  • research.jottings.me - Formal findings, papers, datasets (custom domain: research.yourname.com)
  • ideas.jottings.me - Half-formed thoughts, open questions, tangents

Science needs both the formal and the exploratory.

The Busy Parent

Create multiple sites:

  • yourname.jottings.me - Your professional work or main blog
  • family.jottings.me - Updates for family (they each have their own RSS feed to follow)
  • hobbies.jottings.me - Your creative experiments

Keep family stories separate from professional brand. Keep hobbies separate from both.

The Philosophy

The reason I built this feature is simple: Context matters.

You wouldn't wear your gym clothes to a job interview. You wouldn't tell your grandparents the same jokes you tell your friends. You wouldn't teach a kindergarten class using the same language you'd use in a research paper.

Different contexts deserve different voices.

Social media platforms force you to choose one persona because they need to feed you into one algorithm. Jottings doesn't have an algorithm. We don't care about maximizing engagement across all your content.

We just care that you have the space to be all of yourself.

Managing Multiple Sites is Simple

You don't need three logins. You don't need to buy three separate hosting plans. You don't need to manage three separate backends.

One account. One dashboard. You can bounce between sites in seconds:

  • See all your sites in the sidebar
  • Switch context with one click
  • Write a jot, see it on the right site instantly
  • Manage settings, custom domains, and followers for each site independently

It's as easy as Jottings intended everything to be: simple enough to forget it's powerful.

Your Own Publishing Empire

This is what I love about this feature. A few clicks, and you've built a publishing empire across multiple domains. You own each one. They're all connected under your account. Nobody can take them away.

You're not renting space on someone else's platform, managing their algorithms and following their rules. You're building something that's yours.

You're the publisher. You're the owner. You're in control.

And if you want to upgrade one site to a custom domain while keeping another free, you can. If you want one site to be public and another private (coming soon), you can. If you want different designs, different paces of publishing, different audiences—you can do all of that.

One account. Many voices. Your rules.

Give it a try. Create a site. Then create another. See how it feels to finally have the space to be all of yourself.
