1 Set up your online album Arrival of the Year will help you to organise your photos in one place without the usual hassle of collecting them all first. Your family and friends can all contribute to one central album that you remain in control of.

2 Family and friends upload their photos of you and your new arrival An online baby album enables you to collect and share photos of your baby without needing to share email addresses or master login details. Let your family and friends know about your album using the personalised cards provided. They can upload their photos at any time whilst your album is active.

3 Review and personalise your album Arrival of the Year ensures that no photos can be viewed by anyone else until you're ready to publish your album. Once you log in to edit your album, you can create categories, change the order of photos and even add captions - creating your own personalised online baby album.

4 Publish your album online When you are happy with your album, you can publish it for viewing by your invited album guests. You can also edit your album and republish at any time you wish. Your album will remain active for one year from date you first publish your album and you may extend this at any time.

5 Family and friends view your album Your published album is then viewable by your family and friends. Only family and friends with your unique guest login details can view your album - they can also sign your online guestbook.
