FAQ Question #199
» Can I link my journals together? How do I update another journal without logging out?
While there is no way to link two or more journals together under a single username, there are several options for updating other journals without logging out of the current journal.
First, if you update via the web interface, you can use the "To post as another user, click here" link above the date and time fields to specify a different journal to post in. This will allow you to specify an alternate username and password as the destination for your entry, while you remain logged in to the current account. This alternate login page is directly accessible at

A second option is to use a downloadable client that allows you to log in as multiple users simultaneously. However, not all clients support this functionality. You will need to consult each client's documentation to determine whether this feature is available.
Finally, you have the option of converting a secondary journal to a closed community and then granting only your primary account posting access. This allows you to post directly to the closed community from your primary account. However, please note that a journal being converted to a community must not contain any entries. If you have existing entries in your alternate journal(s), this is probably not the best option. Also, once a journal is converted to a community, it can no longer post entries to itself.
