Choose kind of ticker: Start by clicking on the kind of ticker you want to make. You can choose from: Wedding, Anniversary and Friendship, Holidays and Travel and Vacation tickers.

Select the ticker format: The full size tickers are the most popular. The mini-tickers are good for sites with size restrictions or narrow columns. Some sites like Hyves and iGoogle only support the narrower format.

Create your ticker:

1. Choose a scene: Select the background you want to appear behind your slider.
2. Choose a slider: Select the slider you want to move across your background. Please note, sliders move along according to the months, not the years. For instance, for a ticker that shows how long you have been together, you could think of the slider as showing how close you are to your next anniversary.
3. Add Details: Select the event date, and add details about your event. For the Information below the ticker, the years, months, weeks and days are calculated for you each day. The Information below the ticker option lets you customise the text at the beginning and end of the sentence.

Start using your tickers: You can add your ticker to many blogs, websites, forum posts, email signatures and Windows Active desktop. Click on the links below your ticker for code snippets and tips on how to use your tickers for different applications. You will also find lots more help and detailed instructions in the Help section.

Editing and updating your tickers: You can always come back and create another Daisypath ticker and if you create a free 'My Daisypath' account, you will be able to come back and edit your tickers, or get a new copy of your code snippet without having to create a new ticker. There is more about 'My Daisypath' accounts in the My Daisypath Help section.
