TotSites

The Winter 2 Theme is now available for everyone to use. Previously this design was reserved for Premium TotSites but we felt everyone should be able to enjoy the crisp Winter design.

To use the Winter 2 Theme:

1. Login to your TotSite
2. Navigate to the General page
3. Click on the “change design” link
4. Select the Winter 2 design (near the bottom)
5. Save your changes

Be on the lookout for a few new designs in the upcoming weeks. We will post a preview when available. 

Happy Holidays!

1) Just a quick note to let you know that we have removed the

“    ’s Website       “

from all TotSite titles. A few designs added this bit of text to the end of the title you set for your site. Several members have asked to have this removed so they could have complete control over what was displayed on their site.

2) Minor changes have been made to the winter themes including support for both the “fun facts” and “gift registry” tabs. There will be a few more updates to these designs over the next week.

Please keep sending your feedback so we can continue to enhance TotSites!

Over the past several months we have received feedback from TotSites members asking for a “storage space” limit instead of a “photo count” limit. Originally we chose to use the total number of photos since it is a more up-front and clear way to manage your account.

Since we introduced music and video earlier this year, it is becoming increasingly clear that it might make sense to change the way we handle “limits” for TotSites.

Benefits of “total storage space”

1. You decide how to allocate your space. If you would prefer to upload 10 songs and 15 videos with less photos, that is your choice.
2. If you ever reach the point where you ran out of storage space, you would have the option to simply add more for a nominal fee.

Benefits of “Set limits”

1. No change is needed. Your accounts would work exactly the way they do now.
2. A simpler way to manage your account. You know exactly how many photos, movies or music files you can upload.

Due to popular demand, a new Thanksgiving design is now available to help you share those precious October memories.

With this design you have the option to choose the type of turkeys you want to use: Boy, Girl, and Unisex. Each adds a slightly different flare to your site. In addition, the leaf in the bottom left will randomly rotate between 2 different pictures.

Keep a lookout for more personalized design options with upcoming new toddler / baby website designs. Many of you have indicated that you would enjoy these types of features so we are doing our best to accommodate.

As a side note, all the “winter” designs will undergo minor updates in the next couple weeks. This will include some style updates and more “falling snow” options.

Please continue to send us your feedback!
