STEP ONE: "Create New Registry" Page Link
In order to fully use this tutorial, you will first need to sign up for your FREE trial of Registry Valet. To sign up,
return to the Registry Valet home page, check the checkbox to agree to the terms of service and click the "Start Test Drive" button on the right hand side of the page.
Whether you are setting up a bridal registry, gift registry, or wish list, the first thing to do is log in to the IMC Registry Valet product administrator and click on the "Code Generator" icon in the Registry Valet panel.
This will take you to the code generator page where you will see three white boxes containing HTML link code:
Start by copying the code for the "New Registry Signup Form URL" which is the first of the three boxes containing HTML link code. The easiest way to copy the code is to highlight the entire line by dragging your mouse across the code in the white box and then press Control-C on your keyboard (Command-C on Mac). Then, on one of your own web site's HTML pages, paste this link. The code should look similar to this:
<a href="http://products.ironhorsemedia.com/RegistryNew.cfm?cid=000">Create a Registry</a>
NOTE: In place of the 000 client ID code in this line of example HTML you should see your assigned client ID
Now, go to your HTML page that contains this link and click on it. The Create New Registry page will be displayed and will look something like this.

Next, create an actual sample registry by filling out the "Create New Registry" form that you produced by clicking on the link on your own web site. This will give you a sample bridal registry that you may use for testing. While in test mode, you may create up to 3 sample registries.
Using the same process as you did for the Create New Registry link, add the Registry Login Form link and the Registry Search Form link to your web site. By then clicking on these links (once you have added them to your web site), you can use these pages to login to your test registry and search for your test registry.
Continue to Step 2 (Generate "Add to Registry" button code)
