Once we upgraded to the 'new' IE4.0 with Outlook Express in October of 1997, the folks at the now defunct msn Over40's Newsgroup had great fun figuring out how to play with it. It was like the blind leading the blind, but we shared all we learned with everyone else on the board, and between us all we learned some pretty neat tricks.

A few of us found the stationery NG as soon as it was created, and came back home to the 40's board to tell the rest of us about it. Several of us started 'lurking' there and marveled at some of the stationery creations that were being produced.

One lady in particular, Shaun, was producing the most marvelous stationery by placing images in the left margin of her stationery. She also made little matching email buttons for her stationery creations.

She was asked so frequently for instructions on how to make it that she wrote up some instructions that she could post in response. You'll find those instructions on my Stationery How-Tos and Tips, along with others. The linking button is above..

Of course we weren't satisfied to stop there. We also wanted to know how to embed sound into our email and newsgroup messages. Here Marfer and others also came to our aid.

Then came the typewriting script, the lake effect, animation creation....etc etc etc.

Since that time, several of the 40's Group became pretty knowledgable themselves. While the 40's board was not primarily a 'stationery board', and wouldn't have wanted to become one (there are already plenty of good ones out there), we did enjoy sharing our creations with each other. The 40's Group had gained a bit of a reputation for passing information on to folks who come to the board with questions.

New folks were constantly stopping by the old Over40's NG and asking the how-tos. With the generous consent of many, I've put the answers to the most frequently asked questions here . The Stationery How-To's button above will take you there..

You can find out more about these folks on the Tibute to the Over40s Web Page.There you'll find photos and short bios of many of the good folks who were there.. All of the folks whose collections I display on the Stationery Collections page can be found there. The link below will take you there.
