It's a desire for many: to possess a personalized domain name, maintain a blog, curate photo collections, and consolidate all social media accounts into a single, unified location. Remarkably, this is achievable with Chi.mp, a Content Hub & Identity Management Platform.

What Distinguishes Chi.mp?

You might be wondering what makes Chi.mp unique, or what benefits an account provides. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

• A personal domain name is provided free of charge with your website.
• The platform supports blog posting capabilities.
• Users can create and manage photo albums.
• It facilitates the aggregation of feeds from all your social accounts.
• A contact book and management system are included.

Initiating use of Chi.mp is remarkably simple. Simply input the desired domain name into the provided form to verify its availability. If available, you can immediately begin the straightforward registration and setup process for your new site, without any waiting periods or complications.

Chi.mp clearly defines your rights and expectations. Your personal data, information, and contacts are handled with due respect. A further benefit is the absence of forced advertising on your site, unless you specifically choose to include it.

Configure the profile(s) that best suit your needs. Chi.mp begins with a default set of three: Public, Work, and Friends. Utilize those that are relevant and create additional profiles as desired, with varying privacy levels for each.

It’s important to note that privacy settings are also applicable to your contacts.

Post-Account Creation

Once your domain is registered and your site is underway, you’ll encounter a specific message on the Dashboard page – the default landing page upon logging in. This demonstrates its functionality as an all-encompassing website solution.

The menu toolbar, visible at the top of your site while logged in, provides access to various sections. Each area features a sub-menu toolbar for navigating more options and settings. These sub-menus appear below the main toolbar.

Social Account Aggregation

Chi.mp enables the consolidation of feeds from your preferred social services into a single stream on the main page. Adding new feeds is a straightforward process. The “Add a Feed” option allows you to incorporate a wide range of services.

Once you’ve added services, you’ll see a display of your current services alongside those available for addition. Icons are used to visually differentiate between the various services.

Blogging and Photo Albums

To add blog posts, you’ll encounter an interface with a useful excerpt option for creating post “teasers”. The post toolbar offers a selection of commands, including superscript and subscript functionality.

You can also view your blog posts separately at a dedicated URL (e.g., http://your-name.mp/blog/).

Creating a new photo album is equally simple. You can easily select the profiles for which blog posts and photo albums will be visible.

Themes and Customization

Chi.mp offers extensive customization options for your site’s appearance. You can choose from picture backgrounds, solid color backgrounds, or utilize a custom theme.

Here’s an example of a front page featuring a picture background theme.
