What is a baby ticker?
A baby ticker is a dynamic web graphic that automatically counts down the weeks and days until your baby's estimated due date. There are several ticker services that are free and do not require registration. You can use your baby ticker just about anywhere on the web, in your email signature and now at your Web Baby Shower!



Which baby tickers can I use at Web Baby Shower?
Baby tickers from lilypie.com, baby-gaga.com and TickerFactory.com are compatible with Web Baby Shower. These ticker services were selected by Web Baby Shower because they are free, do not require registration and are easy to use. Tickers from other websites may work at Web Baby Shower, but are not guaranteed to do so and are not supported by Web Baby Shower. Between Lilypie, Baby-Gaga and Ticker Factory, you should have plenty of options to design your perfect baby ticker!



How Do I Create A Baby Ticker?
To create your baby ticker, go to any of the following websites and follow their instructions for creating a ticker:

All of the above ticker sites are free to use, no registration is necessary and the process is very simple. Please note that Web Baby Shower cannot provide customer support in the creation of your baby ticker. If you experience any difficulty in creating your baby ticker, please contact your chosen ticker site directly. Some quick hints:

  • While there are other sites that generate tickers, only Lilypie, Baby-Gaga and Ticker Factory are approved for use at Web Baby Shower. Any other tickers may not work here and Web Baby Shower reserves the right to refuse technical assistance for them.
  • A white background will work best at Web Baby Shower
  • Please do not use the optional left side photos or your ticker will not fit on your Web Baby Shower.

DO NOT MODIFY OR ADD ANYTHING TO THE CODE GENERATED FOR YOU



How Do I Add My Baby Ticker To My Web Baby Shower?
When you create your ticker, copy the PseudoHTML/BBCode that they give you. Then, log into your Web Baby Shower Host Control Panel and add the PseudoHTML Code to the Ticker Manager page.



How Do I Change or Update My Baby Ticker?
If you make any changes to your ticker, simply copy the new PseudoHTML Code and return to the Ticker Manager in your Host Control Panel. Check the "Replace Ticker with new PseudoHTML/BBcode" radio button and paste the new PseudoHTML into the box below it. Then click "Submit"



How Do I Remove A Baby Ticker From My Web Baby Shower?
Log into your Host Control Panel and go to the Ticker Manager page. Check "Remove Ticker Completely" and click submit. The baby ticker will be removed from your Web Baby Shower home page.



HELP! None of this is working!
If you are having difficulty creating a ticker at a ticker website, please contact that website directly for help. If you are having trouble uploading your ticker to your Web Baby Shower please check the following:

  • Make sure that you have copied the PseudoHTML/BBCode completely
  • Make sure that you have not added or removed anything from the code that the ticker website supplied you
  • If you are having trouble seeing your ticker on your Web Baby Shower home page:
    • Please WAIT. Because the ticker is hosted at another website, it may take a while for it to download and appear on your Web Baby Shower homepage
    • If you are being patient, try clicking your browser's Reload/Refresh key.
    • You may need to clear your browser's cache by holding down the CONTROL button on your keyboard and clicking the Reload/Refresh key in your browser at the same time.

If you still encounter any errors or other difficulties in uploading your ticker to or removing your ticker from your Web Baby Shower, please contact me for support. For fastest service, be sure to include:

  • The URL of your Web Baby Shower
  • Whether you want to upload or remove your ticker
  • The complete ticker PseudoHTML/BBCode (if you want to upload)


Web Baby Shower Baby Ticker Guidelines

  • Web Baby Shower reserves the right to terminate this baby ticker service at Web Baby Shower at any time.
  • Only one ticker is allowed per Web Baby Shower. I know they're fun, but more than one will overwhelm your Web Baby Shower home page and may result in technical difficulties (which will make me rather grumpy).
  • Do not modify or add anything to the code the ticker website generates for you
  • Please do not attempt to enter any HTML code in the Ticker Manager. Use the PseudoHTML/BBCode provided with your ticker
  • Web Baby Shower reserves the right to edit or remove any code uploaded via the Ticker Manager
  • Misuse or abuse of this feature can result in the immediate termination of your Web Baby Shower services without notice and without refund
  • Web Baby Shower is not responsible for supporting the creation or maintenance of tickers nor can it be held responsible for interruptions in ticker hosting service
  • All ticker materials including the text, website design, logos, graphics, icons, and images are the sole property and copyright of their respective websites and copyright owners
