Hi Steve,
That would be an awful lot of stamp images that would have to be updated.
For those who are relatively new to Stamporama, the randomly rotating stamp images in the top left hand corner of each page was an impromptu project that just happened a few years ago. We always had a stamp image in the top left hand corner of the home page, but is was static, it never changed. Then one day someone suggested that we have a little fun with it. So everyone started sending in their favorite stamps. Add some design ideas from Michael#### and others plus a little coding help from Roy, and voila, you see what we all enjoy today.
Regards ... Tim

I wonder how many images we have in our 'inventory"?
I wonder if we should have the membership contribute more?
I wonder if we should not have a contest for the best new contribution by year end?
I wonder if year end is too soon?
I wonder who would judge, or if we should vote or have a general poll?
I wonder whether we should have a prize?
I wonder what specs are required for scanning the contributions?
I wonder what my favorite picture is, among the pictures we now have?
I wonder which one is my least favorite?
I wonder why I don't keep quiet?
rrr...

Could have been worse. She could have said:

that she wore for the first time today
an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
so in the locker she wanted to stay..."

Thanks, Kelly (I think...). Well, I did just get a new set - set of six Scott's 2013 to be exact. Those things are heavy!

I guess we forgot to let you know that bodybuilding is a part of stamp collecting. Forget buns of steel - those little coloured pieces of paper are deceiving. Put 'em suckers in a book and you're going to be exercising those muscles. Add a few catalogues on top of that. Forget the gym membership, it's a waste of money, spend your dough on stamps.

Hi Everyone;
@ Geostamper;
Hey, They are heavy for reason. Do you know what it is? Surprise surprise yes I'll tell you rather than keep you all in suspense!
You are supposed to stack them on a Desert Magic II, stamp drying book, so your dried stamps will be nice and flat and crispy, and not resemble Pringles potato chips.
Just thought you should know....

Kelly & Tusken, that's what I love about this hobby: body building and stamp drying advice on the same page! And to think that that same gear is appropriate for both purposes.
I wish I knew the importance of pressing stamps as a kid. All of my stamps had some degree of curl to them (Pringles hadn't come out yet, but something like that...). But no longer. I recently acquired an old springback binder that formerly housed a nice WW collection, but is now empty with somewhat rigid and somewhat absorbent pages. Perfect for a drying book. 
But, you are correct sir: those six volumes will stack nicely and prove to be exceptional pressing material!

The gorgeous stamp images that rotate in the upper left corner of this page are a nice StampoRama bonus. Sometimes I wonder, "What stamp is that?" What would you think about having the country name and Scott number pop up when you mouse-over the image? Maybe that makes it too easy... better to have us pull out the catalog!?!
