Getting Started with the New Apalachicola Bay Chamber of Commerce Website

A password is needed to log in to the member information area of the site.  You can retrieve your password, by entering your email address in the form on the bottom of the login page and clicking the button labeled "Email my password to me".  Click here to go to the login page, and then on to the member information page.  If you have any problems logging in, please contact Vince Bishop at .  Members can also access the member information page by clicking on the "Members" link at the bottom of each page on the site, then clicking on the "My Information" link.

User and Business Information

There are two main sections to the member information form.  Member Information and Business Information.  The member information fields contain information about you and your chamber membership.  The Business Information fields contains information about your business.  Some of the information in these two sections may be the same.

In the "Business Description" field you may enter a brief description of your business.  Please try to limit your entry to the space provided in the field.  These words, along with the business name, member name, keywords, and category names will be searched when a site visitor uses the Find a Member or Service form.

The keyword field is used to include additional search words that are not included in your Business Description.  This is useful especially if users sometimes misspell your business name.  Keywords will not show up on the website, they are only used for searching.

The URL field is used to create a link to your website.  If you do not have a website, leave this blank.  If you do not have a website and you would like to have a one-page site on the Chamber's website, contact the Chamber.

Before leaving this page or clicking on any other links, be sure to click the "Update information" button in order to save your data.

Chamber Options

The bottom link on the Member Information form will take you to the Chamber Options.  Make sure you update any changes you made on the form before going to the Chamber Options page.

On the Chamber Options page, you can place your business in one or more categories of your choosing.  Your business has to be in at least one category for it to show up in searches.  After selecting the categories, make sure you click on the "Update" button to save your choices.  If only one category selection is available, select the first category and update and you should then see the option for a second category.  If you would like to suggest a new category, please contact the Chamber.
