The internet is pretty amazing Eric. A couple of years back Don Coplen sent me a google map with Letterheads on it, I'm not sure how to access it any more or if it even still exists, but there were a lot of names on it.
I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.

That map seems to be gone Kelly.
I wanted to know the geograffical density of the Letterheads and could not find anything.
That's why i invested a few hours to put the first ones down.
Hope you like it! :D

It seems that there is, untill now, a shortage in some area's on the globe for Letterheads :wink:

Erik,

That is really cool - thanks very much for "putting us on the map" I'm sure the list will grow as you find more "keepers of the craft."

The map is turning out nice.

It suprises me that there are still a lot of Letterheads that did not made a website.
I can tell you that it is really worth the effort to make one!
You can atrackt new business, use it as a catalog or information leaflet.

If there are any other real Letterheads who wants to put there name on the map, just let me know.

Erik

Just checking.

Just checking if the forum with the new php-engine can deal with html scripts or flash...
I see that the flash option, when posting, is disabled.
That is a shame; because otherwise we could post slideshows, video's etc made in flash....

But for now I want to see if the google map of "Letterheads around the World" I made earlier does show properly.....

Letterheads around the World


Nope, not yet..... only BBcode is possible for now.

Well lets try this new photo posting.... :wink: :D :D
I realize that this type of photo is the maximum that can be tolerated here on the forum, because I know for sure Mike and Danny want to keep it nice and decent.
