Later today the 500th article on this website will publish. I have been doing this for two years. It was and is the plan for the website to write about 1000 articles in mostly common individual stamps from my personal collection. This would happen over about 4 years in order to build a website that promotes stamp collecting by telling the hopefully interesting stories that are learned from the hobby of stamp collecting. So far the readership is not as high as I would hope it to be but is rising. The library of articles is building and most days back articles are the bulk of the views. I don’t think people search online for someone who gasbags about postage stamps so SEO tools aren’t much good for what I do. So If I could make a request of my readers, if you like what I do, tell a friend. Also remember to notice and perhaps click on the Google ads that they have selected for you. I have kept the ads to a minimum and do not make you keep clicking to “read on” to enhance the readability of the site. My style is text heavy and picture light, you can see photography is not a talent of ours, my wife does the pictures, and if you think hers are bad you should see my attempts. Anyway hope you enjoy the stories still to come.
