Dayboox is a free online website that will help you capture, recall and share your lifetime memories through pictures and written entries! Every memory will be chronologically organized and is fully searchable by keywords, date and location. You can even upload pictures directly from a camera phone. Dayboox makes it easy for you to share all your memories with friends, groups, family or fans by allowing you to determine individual privacy levels. What's also great is that you can embed Dayboox on Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Hi5 or any other community, blog, journal or online diary. Once you post a new entry, all the other profiles with a Dayboox application will be instantly updated as well. Now your family and friends will never miss a moment of your life!

Yes, Dayboox is free! In fact, Dayboox is a great service that could otherwise cost you time and money if you try to capture your life anywhere else. So why bother looking elsewhere when Dayboox is here and free!

Record your life by making a written daily entry or by taking a photograph with your camera then uploading it to your account. Or easier still, record your life from your camera phone! Simply take the photo and email it directly to your Dayboox. Whichever method you choose, Dayboox makes it easy and convenient for you to document your life.

Signing up is really easy! Simply click on Register Now located on the bottom half of the Dayboox Welcome Screen (http://www.dayboox.com). From here just follow a few easy steps and in minutes you’ll have your profile ready to capture, share, and record your life!

You can try a number of different ways to choose your username. Ask yourself what one of your favorite things is, such as a favorite car, color or movie and try using that. If it doesn’t work, add a number to that word such as the year you were born, your area code or a number from the roll of a dice. Hopefully you’ll end up with a good combination of your favorite thing and a number. If you still end up with something already taken then keep rolling the dice or picking a number from a deck of cards because you’re bound to end up with a black jack.

When signing up for your Dayboox account, type in a username that is unique to you and one that you will remember. If the username is not available Dayboox will notify you to try again.

Just click on the link that says Forgot password? underneath the login at the top right corner. On the next page enter your email address and we will send your username and password to the email account you used to sign up with Dayboox.

First make sure your CAPS button is unlocked. Often times people are not aware that the CAPS key is on. Your password is case sensitive so be sure you are using the right combination of capital and lower case letters. If after several attempts you still cannot login you can retrieve your password by clicking on Forgot password? at the top right corner beneath the login and follow the steps.

If you don't receive the welcome or confirmation email when you expect to, check your email client's spam folder. Some email clients are more aggressive than others about identifying spam. If it’s not in your spam folder, try logging in with the username and password you just created. If you are unable to log in, try re-registering your account and expect a welcome email from us.

When you sign up to become a Dayboox member the verification code may sometimes produce letter combinations that make it hard for people to correctly discern the characters. Make sure you did not put any spaces in between any of the letters. If it still doesn’t work try the process again and you will be prompted with another verification code.

A Dayboox entry is an entry that you create for the moment you want to capture. It is also referred to as a memory since these moments are derived from your memories. The entry can be about anything in your life you want to remember. You can keep the entry confidential, make it visible to a few selected friends or visible to the entire public. It’s all up to you. Your Dayboox is about your life so carpe diem and start documenting your life now!

You will be asked to upload your first entry during registration. If you choose not to make an entry during registration you can do so at any time by logging in and clicking on the “new entry” button on the top of the page.

You can upload files in JPEG, GIF and TIFF format. Most photos will be in JPEG format whether you are uploading a picture from your camera or sending a photo from your camera phone.

The default setting for new entries is private. When you send an email with an attached picture, or submit an entry from your mobile phone, the entries are private whether you type a "P" or "Private" in the subject line. If you forget to type in your privacy preference, the entry is private by default.
To change the privacy setting of an existing record, go to the entry and click "Edit". If you're in the list view, it's found under the drop down menu to the right of the entry. If you're in large view, it's the blue pencil icon under the entry's description. Then change the "Show it to" line to fit your privacy preference.

The default settings for newly posted entries is private. Upon submitting an entry you can choose who you would like to share it with. If you would like to change the privacy level for any of your entries, select the entry you would like to change and click edit. You can change all entry details from the edit screen.

If you create an entry via your online account you just simply enter the note in the “NOTE FIELD” next to your uploaded image. If you create the entry via email or a camera phone you can add a note by typing: "Notes:" and then type away. (Ex. Notes: What a journey! I can't believe we climbed the entire mountain!) Notes can also be added at a later time by logging in to your Dayboox.

Keywords help you label and describe your entries so that you can easily find and remember them later. For example, a surfing entry might be tagged with "surfing," "water," and "waves." If you search your entries by any of those terms, that entry will show up in your search results. Friends or Groups you’ve shared your entries with can browse and search your Dayboox by keywords as well. If your entries are set to public, then your entries are included in all keyword searches and will be visible to anyone. You can assign keywords while you create an entry or add them later by editing your entry. To add keywords to an entry, click on the edit button in the keyword field then enter the keywords you want to use. To add keywords from an email or mobile upload, type "Keywords:" in the body of the message, followed by your keywords. (Ex. Keywords: mountain, hike, climb)

The default location of your entries is the personal destination you entered when you started your Dayboox. The location information is shown above the uploaded image. You can change the location by clicking on the edit button then enter or browse your location on the pop-up map.

The default date and time is the current time when you create your entry and is shown alongside the uploaded image. To change this information click on the edit button and choose the right date/time.

These are different from internet enabled mobile phone email domains, and MMS charges may apply depending on your service and contract.
