Progress on Catalogue
Hi,
Just wanted to let you all know that I have added an image view for the catalogue to match the image view available in the group stamps view (link at bottom of page). While it doesn't work 100%(ie. doesn't remember your search criteria) it does provide a nice new way to browse the catalogue. Once you get into the catalogue one of the options is "image only" (it's just above the search and filter tools on the catalogue). You can go back to the usual view by selecting "Full Cat" once in image only view. Also the reset option changes to suit whichever mode you are in. Let me know what you think. By the way - We currently have the last 50 odd Australian Pre-decimal stamp listings awaiting images to be uploaded for them. They are listed in the approval area for the admins (not viewable by mere mortals). The completion of Australian Pre-decimal simplified with images is very close There has been quite a bit of activity with adding stamps and images. Much thanks to nolack who has really put in a big effort to once again spur me on to do some more on the site. We are approaching the 400 mark with more to come. I have also been more careful with the images thanks to Rodney pointing out my slackness in this area. Hopefully the last 15 odd additions are OK... There have been quite a few other tweaks to go with it all. I hope to be moving the site to a Top Level Domain name more suited to a stamp catalogue...any suggestions?!? Oh well...late(ish) and tired. nite. Rene http://www.renster.com/stamps |

For example perhaps a side by side view of the 1947 Princess Elizabeth issue, showing the shade variation between the watermarked and unwatermarked issues. Blow ups of variations of the KGV sideface would be a real winner. This is exactly where I want to go. I will make a seperate stamp studies section and link it back to the catalogue. While I can do some of it at the moment with the base and child option currently in the catalogue I think shade variation and studies of varieties really need their own dedicated pages with the catalogue as a broader, less detailed backup. For varieties I hope to add close up scans for the individual stamp to use the multiple images available. In some cases I have done this but I will expand on it where I can. I know it's hard yakka, I have 3,600 images in my Oz collection, and have hardly scratched the surface. It really does dawn on you the size of even tackling Aus pre-decimal - ever increasing levels of detail. Upgrading poor images with better mint ones. Focus on faults, varieties and shades. Adding context to the time period and history, etc. etc. 3,600 images .... some way for me to go Cheers Rene http://www.renster.com/stamps |

Did you know our KGV sideface is one of the most studied issues in stampdon?
Here is the "Beginners start to blindness" Courtesy of Australian Stamp News Circa 1970 (It was in a huge box of pages ripped from magazines concerning this issue) http://groups.msn.com/Stamps/shoebox...to&PhotoID=346 HTH (large scan) | For example perhaps a side by side view of the 1947 Princess Elizabeth | issue, showing the shade variation between the watermarked and | unwatermarked issues.

I know there is a lot of material. It's being allowed to use it on a
webpage that is the issue. |
