If you would like to view or make changes to the Host's name and contact information on file with Web Baby Shower, please use the "Edit Host Info" page in the Host Control Panel as follows:

  1. Go to your Web Baby Shower home page (find)
  2. Click the "host control panel" link near the bottom of the page
  3. Once you have logged into the Host Control Panel, click the "Edit Host Info" icon
  4. Under "What Would You Like To Do?" check "Update Host Name & Contact Information" and click "Go"
  5. On the HOST ACCOUNT INFORMATION & OFFICIAL WEB BABY SHOWER CONTACT page, please read the Required Name Information at the top of the page carefully.

  7. Click the "Submit Changes" button when you are done editing or click "Cancel" if you were just viewing the data or change your mind.


What To Do If Your Email Address Changes

If your email address changes while you are running a Web Baby Shower you can update your email address yourself as follows:

  1. Go to your Web Baby Shower home page (find)
  2. Click the "host control panel" link near the bottom of the page
  3. Log in with your "old" email address that is still on file with Web Baby Shower and any Host Control Password you may be using
  4. Once you have logged into the Host Control Panel, click the "Edit Host Info" icon
  5. Under "What Would You Like To Do?" check "Update Host Name & Contact Information" and click "Go"
  6. On the HOST ACCOUNT INFORMATION & OFFICIAL WEB BABY SHOWER CONTACT page, please read the Required Name Information at the top of the page carefully.

  8. Click the "Submit Changes"

You will then be able to log into the Host Control Panel with your new email address. If you created an account at snowboardmommy.com when you paid for the Web Baby Shower set up fee, please update your account information there in a similar fashion.



Host Control Panel Password Protection

It is always necessary to provide the host email address on file with Web Baby Shower in order to access the Host Control Panel. This is meant to keep out any unwanted Internet visitors but also allow the expecting parents and/or guests to help you manage your Web Baby Shower. However, if you feel that your guests should also be kept out of your Host Control Panel, you can add password protection to it.

Please note that if you feel like you need assistance from the expecting parents and/or your guests to manage your Web Baby Shower, I recommend that you not use Host Control Panel password protection and simply allow your assistants to log in with your email address on file with Web Baby Shower.



Sharing Access To Your Host Control Panel

At this time there is only one Host Control Panel login account available for each Web Baby Shower. If you would like to allow a co-host or the exepcting parent(s) access to your Host Control Panel, simply have them login with your email address on file with Web Baby Shower and any password you decide to use. If you use a Host Control Panel password, please make sure your co-hosts know to keep your password private from the rest of your guests.



Adding A Host Control Panel Password

To add a password to your Host Control Panel login:

  1. Go to your Web Baby Shower home page (find)
  2. Click the "host control panel" link near the bottom of the page
  3. Once you have logged into the Host Control Panel, click the "Edit Host Info" icon
    • Note: You can also access this feature using the "Privacy and Passwords" page in the Host Control Panel
  4. Under "What Would You Like To Do?" check "Add / Remove Password Protection for Host Control Panel Login" and click "Go"
  5. Make sure you read the password guidelines:
    • Passwords should be 6 - 20 characters long.
    • I recommend using at least one capital letter and one number -- but I am not going to force you to.
    • Spaces, punctuation and special characaters are not allowed.
    • If you wish to password protect your Host Control Panel, please pick a password that will be easy for you to remember BUT not easy for your Guests to guess at.
    • If you plan to use password protection for your entire Web Baby Shower DO NOT use the same password here or your guests will be able to use the password to log into the Host Control Panel too.
    • Common sense caution: Please use a password that is unique for your Web Baby Shower Host Control Panel. PLEASE do not re-use a password that you use for other online accounts, especially any online financial accounts you may have.
  6. Next to "Turn Host Control Panel Password Protection:" check ON
  7. Enter your desired Host Control Panel password, noting the above guidelines, and confirm it
