StampoRama Adds a New Search Function
A new Search function has been added to the Left Navigation panel on the homepage that allows you to do a global search of all the data on the StampoRama website. Clicking on the Search link takes you to the Search page where you can do a search of all the StampoRama data collected by Google and a similar search of all the data collected by Microsoft(Bing). We have included both search options because the search results between the two do come back with different results sometimes.

A new Exhibit called "The Celebration of the Penny Black" has been loaded by one of our members (Londonbus1). It is an excelent exhibit examining many aspects of the Penny Black stamp.
The Celebration of the Penny Black

StampoRama has completed the first full row on the Penny Page of Penny Black stamps!
The StampoRama club members have combined together, pooling the Penny Black stamps that they have in their collections, in order to build a full sheet of Penny Blacks. When the Penny Blacks were printed, each stamp in the sheet was identified by it's row and column position being printed on the stamp in the bottom corners. Recently one of our members, who goes by the username of "rtvstamps" added a recent acquisition, a Penny Black "IC" to the Penny Page, completing that row. That is our first full row. We have many more to go. :-)
Another new feature on the site: it is now possible to do a full text search and find things you did not even know were on the site!
See this discussion on our DB or check the menu on the left.
