He made the script and he has shown me how I can change the images. I am sorry when I cannot be a better help.

Jacqui Lawson is exactly who I was thinking of when I wrote about these, but her name wasn't on the tip of my fingers. Thanks for that. Tina, I think some e-cards are passé, but not if you make it original and about your art--like Jacqui does. Everyone likes to get these. Jerry: Good old Google! Nancy: Cool! Thanks for the link! Doris: I'd like to know how you did this. I couldn't see them in an obvious place. All: I agree.

People can send them also with music (like Happy birthday and many other songs). I needed the help of a webmaster to do this on my website, but I like to offer them. When people get such an e-card they always are able to see from whom this e-card comes, so they know it is safe to open them.

Then spammers and hackers began using them for their own reasons, even to infect our computers with viruses. So there is only one person whose e-cards I'll open. People do still like to receive cards and notes in the mail. So I spend the postage to send these to customers and special people in my life. I regularly send postcard updates about my business and products to customers and find the results are worthwhile. I used to open e-cards and enjoy receiving them.

It does require setup and you have to create a database on your server. It can be difficult unless you know what you are doing. I set it up on my cat's website, and on a friend's, and it took quite a bit of trial and error work. There is documentation on their website, so if you have had a bit more experience than me, it might be a snap for you. The two sites I set it up on are <http://www.ravenswingstudio.com/sendcard/index.php> and <http://www.earthlightimages.com/sendcard/index.php>.

These cards are very well done from a visual perspective (I wish her website was half as attractive.) I have a dot mac membership, and this allows me to upload my own photos into their card template. I like to send e-cards of my artwork to friends and family. I've thought about offering e-cards on my website in the past, but it seems to me to be a lot of work for very little, if any, financial reward.
