Yet another Discworld stamps website

After establishing The Discworld Stamp Collector on Facebook (not been there? just click on my signature) it became clear that Facebook cannot be used as an archive or a reference. Though you can page down and down and down ad infinitum there is no way to easily find old posts.
So I have created The Discworld Stamp Collector website to focus on some issues in this genre, looking in depth at the stamps and the background behind them. Currently only four topics are covered, but these will increase in time. There will be no logical order to the topics, apart from publishing when sufficient material has been gathered.
You are invited to ask questions, point out errors, or supply further information.
Enjoy!

Just as a matter of interest, why did you choose the Howondaland Wahoonie as your banner theme, logo, icon, or whatever is/are the right word(s) to use for the purpose(s) to which you have applied the image of this particular stamp. Is it just your favourite? Or is there a deeper significance? Or a <span style="line-height: 1.4;">or shallower one?</span>

It's one that I like, and I wanted a DW stamp as the theme. It's a little quirky because it says FAUNA top right, when the Wahoonie is FLORA. This stamp lent itself to having the page titles inserted at the size,though some are a tad too large. There are other stamps I could have used, and may still, if I decide to update the theme.

My complements on a nice site Steve.

It'll be helpful to get the contents of your brain down in writing.

Thanks Colin. Alzheimer-proofing laced with a bit of mythology busting.
Cinderella philatelists at present probably consider DW stamps as a bit of a novelty, but sometime in the future they will inevitably evolve into classics.
Until now we have had detailed listings of the stamps, but missing the discussion and the background. That discussion has been here and there, unstructured, on forums and in emails or messages. There have been half-remembered stories that have been repeated; some just do not add up, but collectors blithely and naively accept them without thinking. And, perhaps those who would question the statements do not as going against the accepted 'truth' would be seen as heresy. Often questions asked cannot be answered.
I certainly won't be covering each and every stamp issue. Many just do not have anything to be said about them. They lack any variations, and no background to the stamps has appeared.
I hope some of today's collectors find something there to read, and it provides them with further collecting possibilities. I wish I had a big box of 'commons' that I could sort through and find more stuff and nonsense to write about.
