General

The Front page contains the list of what people want for Christmas. After one chooses their name from the list, they describe what it is that they want and push the button that says "Add gift". Their desired gift is then added to the list below the picture where the buttons are located.

Instructions/Help

For those people who want to tell everyone else that they are getting someone a particular gift and want to make sure that no one else gets that same gift for them, there is a second page. You can get to this page by clicking the button labeled "Check Who's bought what". More detailed instructions are below.

From the Main Page

Users select their name from the list. They then type in what gifts they would like to add to their list. They then push the "Add Gift" button to add this gift to the listing.
If a user cannot not find the name they are looking for in the list, they can add that name to the list using the button labeled "Click to add a new Name to the list".

Check Who's bought what

This is the new addition to the site. Now users can log in and tell everyone else (who checks in) what they are getting a given person. Of course, when one is logged in they will NOT be able to see what others are getting them.
1. To use this page, you must first create a password. Once this password has been created, you will use it to access the site. Since we are a family and we should be able to trust each other to a reasonable degree, ALL PASSWORDS ARE NOT SET until you do it yourself.
2. To do this, click the "Create a password" button in the lower left corner. In the small window, select your name from the list and type in the password you want to use. Once you submit this password, it will be the only access you will have to get to this part of the website. The main page is not password protected.

Note: If you would like to make the gifts that you are entering into the lists (either list, that is) a URL, which means to make it a link, these are the steps:

The first thing to type into the window is: <a href="
Now put the address in where you want your gift to be linked
   Make sure you include the http://
   Make sure there is no space between the href= and the http://
     like this: <a href="http:// ...
To finish the first part of the link, close the quotes and the bracket: ">
Now type in the name of the gift, how you want the name to be. It can be anything you want and any length you want.
To close the link you need to add </a>
That is all. Remember, only 1 (but at least 1) word can be the link. You DO NOT have to make the entire description of the gift the name of the link

Example:I want a Heineken Beer for Christmas. This how I would write it in:
I want a <a href="http://www.heineken.com">Heineken Beer</a> for Christmas.
And it looks like this:
I want a Heineken Beer for Christmas
