All you need is create your own iJot account. From iJot's editor page, click the 'create account' link sitting below the login form in the right pane.
Then just fill in the three (required) fields.
Nickname will identify yourself as an iJot author, as well as designate your iJot site on the Web, as in http://nickame.ijot.net/.
Password is needed to confirm your identity. You should obviously try to keep it to yourself.
Email should be a valid email address if you want to be able to change your password should you happen to forget it or should it become compromised.
Click the 'join' button to automatically create your iJot site. That's all there is to it.
Upon account creation, or whenever logging into your account, your browser displays iJot's authoring interface.
To modify your new site's home page, you need to edit its outline with iJot's built-in webOutliner.
Select the 'Home' entry under 'my site' in iJot's left selector pane.
Then either click its 'up-arrow' wedge, or the 'edit' button at the bottom of the selector.
Type in your modifications, using webOutliner's text editing commands.
When you are finished - preferably before that - click the 'save outline' icon in the webOutliner toolbar.
Do not modify this outline name - Home - unless you want to create a new page based on a different outline.
The save dialog offers you a chance to update your home page's title.
Click the 'save' button to record your changes on the iJot server.
If you do not change the checkboxes in the save dialog, the dialog will not appear the next time you click 'save' in the webOutliner toolbar: your changes will be committed to the iJot server directly.
Moreover, provided you are not in the process of entering text, any change you make to your outline will be saved automatically within the next minute.
If you browse away from iJot's authoring interface while an unsaved outline is still being edited, an alert message will offer you to reconsider before losing your changes: just click the 'cancel' button to stay in the outliner.
You can look at the 'published page' version of your modifications by selecting 'Home' in the selector pane and clicking the 'view' button at the bottom of the list.
To add a new page to your iJot site click the 'new outline' icon in the webOutliner toolbar.
Then enter your page's content in the outliner, saving as often as possible.
The first time you click the 'save outline' icon, the save outline dialog offers you a chance to specify an outline name - replace the default 'untitled' - and a page title - replace the default 'Untitled Document' if you haven't already done so in the outliner.
The new page will appear under its outline name in iJot's selector pane.
The save dialog offers an option to archive your outline locally on your workstation as an OPML format document, as well as an opportunity to mirror it to another server on the Internet.
Your iJot site comes complete with a weblog. To access its published version, add '/blog/' to your iJot site's URL. For instance, the iJot docs site weblog is published at: http://docs.ijot.net/blog/.
For a quick check, select 'Weblog' in iJot's selector pane, and click the 'view' button at the bottom of the list.
To post to your weblog, just select 'Weblog' in iJot's selector and click the 'edit' button at the bottom of the list, or click the 'up-arrow' wedge of the 'Today' entry.
Your weblog pages are outlines of course, with dates as special outline names, in the form 'YYYY-MM-DD'.
When saving your post, changing the outline name to something other than 'YYYY-MM-DD' will cause the outline to be treated as a regular site page instead of a blog entry.
You may choose a date, and blog to the Future or the Past, by clicking the 'up-arrow' wedge in front of the 'Pick a date' entry of iJot's selector.
Your iJot weblog is also published as an RSS 1.0 news feed for your readers to subscribe to. To access it. just add '/blog/rss.rdf' to your site's URL.
For instance, the RSS feed for the docs site's weblog is published at: http://docs.ijot.net/blog/rss.rdf
This document is still in its draft process, we welcome every and any input in the ijot-support group/mailing list.
