Update
Log The update log
to 31 December 2011 has been deleted, as
it is now obsolete following the major revamp
that occurred at the beginning of 2012 to
celebrate 12 years online presence. Minor
amendments made from 2012 onwards will not
be included below (such as a new printer
name added). Only significant changes will
be logged.
January 2012
-
Every page altered to one degree or another. -
c100 new articles added. - c60 new printer names added, making it the biggest database
of stamp printer names to be found
on the web (and probably even in print).
Now recording 1,166 individual printer names
(at 6 Jan 2012) and
increasing on a regular basis.
-
Home Page and Site Plan made significantly
better to use and on more modern lines. -
Website URLs added for all current stamp
printers. - Home Page and Site Plan clearly
divided into three sections, Printers,
Production and Philately. - 46 flag
images updated or added to reflect changes
to flag design or creation of a new country.
- 22 new or previously unlisted countries
added to databse. -
Navigation improved, with all inoperative
page links and bookmarks finally resolved. -
Google Search has reploaced PicoSearch,
as it can search PDF and Word docs in addition
to HTMLl. Look for the "KEYWORD
[magnifying glass]" logo at top right
of every page, as on this page. -
Links to 629 Flickr!
images added. This will increase over time.
Still
to complete - major changes to the imagery
section, which is currently extremely poor,
both in content and layout style. When completed
the images will be in separate PDFs for
each country that has suitable material
to illustrate, effectivel forming a draft
handbook on dummy stamps and issued stamps
devoted to an aspect of stamp printing.
Steady progress made already.
"Quoting
one is plagiarism; quoting many is research!"
Above is the compilers favourite quote and one that he endeavours to take note of at all times.
This work has been many years in the
making and in the early days of recording
facts and imagery it had not been intended
to make what has been recorded available to
anyone else. Also, certain images were provided
by a "well wisher", now deceased,
who possibly
did not own the copyright and it is no longer
possible to identify these particular images
from the many others.
So, any inadvertent copyright
infringement of either text (unlikely) or imagery will
be rectified within 24 hours
of the compiler reading the complaint.
An apology will be sent to the complainant
by e-mail and they will be added to the
list of those who have made a contribution, if they agree that the item
may remain, of course. Alternatively, the
offending item will be immediately removed.
It
will never be the compiler's intention or
desire to cause offence
or to be guilty of plagiarism or copyright
theft.
