Upcoming Changes to Better Support Multiples
As many of you already know, you can add multiple children to a single TotSite. Most areas of the site are shared, but each child has their own fun facts and growth chart sections. This is a great time saver for busy parents who don’t have time to update multiple sites and creates a “one-stop” place for friends and family to see all those adorable pictures, fun facts and stories.
While being able to add multiple children to a single TotSite has been a popular feature on TotSites, it has a few drawbacks. Over the last several months we have been talking with parents who had recently given birth to multiples. With their help, we came up with a list of possible enhancements to existing TotSites designs to work better with twins, triplets and in general, for any Family who wants to use TotSites for all their children. The most basic of these features is to add plural versions of non editable graphics. For instance, on the Pink Princess design, if you have a single child it will say “Little Princess” at the top. With the new enhancements it will now say “Little Princesses”.


These changes might seem minor but they add that extra touch to your site. We do our best to ensure that your site looks adorable and professional at the same time, regardless of how many children you want to include on your TotSite!
We are making an effort to start upgrading the existing designs but wanted your help to prioritize which to upgrade first! The Princess design is already in process but the next will be based on your feedback. Please leave a comment here in the blog or send us an email with your wish list.
The process of upgrading existing designs with the new enhanced features will not be completed overnight, but instead between other new features and designs (such as the upcoming Easter theme). This means if you are using a design that needs updating be sure to let us know!
I would like to extend a big thank you to those parents who took the time to send us your feedback. Your suggestions will help improve TotSites in order to be the best baby / toddler website service available!

As a mother of twins, I would love the added extras that you are speaking of. It would be nice to be able use plurals regarding the banners, etc. I would like to suggest multiple lines for the name banner, right now I have to try and fit both of my sons names in the given area, and depending on the background, the names get cutoff sometimes. I look forward to the changes. Thank you for the website, it is absolutley wonderful!
