You can use the "widgets" button on the top right of your screen to add "recent postals". It will show you postals that have been listed. Use the edit button once you have the widget up to play with the settings. :)

I don't see widgets button. How do I find that?

I'd like to piggy-back on this question and ask what exactly a postal is. I don't really get it. :(

Actually I meant to ask for further clarification on Postal RINGS. With those, if 10 people sign up does that mean that 10 stamps will be mailed around to everyone?

I'm doing my first Postal Ring now. Basically, if 10 people are involved, each person makes a carve and log and mails thiers to the person they are assigned or below them, whoever the creator of the ring choses. So basically, in theory, you should get a new "box" every week, until yours is returned to you with the log full :) It's been about 1 1/2 weeks since my last box but I assume that that is due to boxes being held up by schedules and such. It's been interesting and I've already signed up for more. I'm enjoying it!

Awesome. I was guessing that's how it would have to work but wanted to double check. I only did my first (and second and third) carve last night so I didn't want to jump into something I can't handle just yet. Thanks!

a lot of times you can find postal singles too. That is how I started out. With those, it is only the person creating the tracker that is sending something out. Everyone else waits for it to get to them and then sends it to the next person.

If have not already signed up for the Newbie Ring with Littlemonkey, I highly recommend it.

John and I were thinking of doing this one since we figured the ring would have us carve a stamp. Thanks!!

Actually for Littlemonkey's Newbie rings, all the stamps/log books are provided. So you don't have to carve anything at all. This is unusual to these newbie rings. The purpose is to practice the logging and mailing part of it.

It is true that with regular rings, each participant is required to provide their own stamp/log book.
