Glossary

A to Z

Address / handle: the part before .mezaic.me in your free address. Set at sign-up, changeable in Settings.

Apex domain: a domain with nothing in front of it, like yourname.com (as opposed to me.yourname.com). See Custom domains.

Announcement: a short message emailed to subscribers of the Announcements topic, written on the Subscribers page.

Approved domain / origin: an exact HTTPS address permitted to show your embedded Persona. The hostname and port must match; example.com and www.example.com are separate entries. This does not connect the domain to Mezaic hosting. See Persona embedding.

Canonical URL: the address search engines treat as the original of a page. For posts first published elsewhere, set it in the editor.

Content item: one entry in a résumé section: a role, a degree, a product, a repository, a skill group, a talk, an award or a testimonial. Plans limit how many you can have.

Double opt-in: a subscriber must click a confirmation email before receiving anything.

Embed code: the snippet you copy from Persona settings into an external website’s custom code area to load the chat. The host must support scripts and frames.

Export: a downloadable archive of your whole site. See Backups, export and import.

Featured link: a link rendered as a large card at the top of its group.

Journey: one long-running goal documented as a timeline on its own page.

Landing mode: the Links tab is first, so your address opens on your links.

Module / tool: one part of the portal (Blog, Links, Analytics, …). You choose which are shown under Features.

Overage: anything on your site that a cheaper plan does not allow, listed before you downgrade and while a site is paused.

Paused site: a site whose subscription ended while it still exceeds the Free plan; visitors see a “site paused” page until it fits or is resubscribed.

Portal: the admin area at mezaic.co/app where you edit your site.

Primary domain: the address your site is canonical on; every other address redirects to it.

Pro badge: the crown marker on a tool your current plan does not include.

Mezaic Persona: an AI chat that uses your published Mezaic content and notes to answer visitors. Eligible plans let you use the same Persona on approved external websites, with shared usage and transcripts. See Mezaic Persona.

Shared company: a company profile its owner opened to other Mezaic sites, either to an invite list of colleagues’ emails or to anyone who searches for it, so colleagues link roles to it and can appear in its People section. See Companies.

Retention: how far back analytics data (or daily backups) is kept on your plan.

Section / tab: a part of your home page (Blog, Links, About, Work, Journeys, Updates), ordered under Settings → Profile sections.

Spotlight: a prominent card under your header. Up to six.

Topic: a category a subscriber chooses to hear about: new posts, new products, new journeys, updates, announcements.

Update: a short post of up to 300 characters.

Verified domain: a custom domain whose DNS record points at Mezaic; only verified domains get a certificate and serve your site.
