It seems like when I want to add something from a random online site, i can't. How in the heck does this work?

You have to put a button/icon thing on your browser.  It gives you instructions on the myregistry website.  Then, you go to whichever website you want something from, get to the item's page, and click that button you added to the top of your browser and it will help you through the adding on process.

How do I install the 'Add to MyRegistry' button to my browser?

If you're a member and have not yet installed the 'Add to MyRegistry' button, login to your account and from the ?COOL TOOLS? top menu, select ?Get the ?Add to MyRegistry? Gift Button?. On the following page, you?ll see instructions for adding the button for Internet Explorer.  If you are using a different browser, select instructions for the correct browser using the drop-down menu at the top.  Once you have added the button, it should appear in the ?Links? toolbar of your respective browser.  Here you go - hope that helps.

Once you get the button on your favorites bar it is easy to use. I had trouble figuring it out too, but I use a mac with safari so I think I ended up having to do something other than what it said. The only problem I have had since then is that some of the pictures dont show up for my items but it still links to them if you say buy this now. I kind of wonder if anyone will actually buy anything off of there..which stinks because it is the stuff I really want.

A tip - you can change the photos - there's something you can do to choose a picture from the page that you're on, and it will let you cycle through all the pics until you get the one for your gift.  Sadly, I don't remember how to do it.  I know on some of them, I edited it after I had added the gift to my registry.  I agree, it was a bit hard to figure out, but then again, I don't read directions until after the fact 90% of the time, so I can't complain too much.

Okay...so my curiosity is killing me here.  What are you registering for?  Is there a little secret you need to tell us about?!

Geeze.. I'm so not good at being insightful enough to even know when I should be nosey.   *head-desk*

No, I am not pregnant. (boo, part of me wants to be soooooo bad!!!) I thought I'd start a registry to keep track of the super awesome stuff for kids that I might forget about otherwise. To be honest I don't know that I'd even get a shower when the time comes since I don't have family that lives too close (other than my parents who are 2 hrs away). So really the registry is for me. I will go there and update it through time. Yes, I overly prepare!

 We would ttc, but I want to lose more weight first and want DH to be working again before we actually try. We are being very cautious and I don't think I'll be drinking any of the "water" that is around here lately. It is for the best, even though what I WANT and what is best are two different things right now....
