Help:Add a First Day Cover

From Stamps of the World

One of the goals of SOTW is to show as much about a stamp set as possible and that includes First Day Covers.

Adding a First Day Cover can be done with the following code :

==First Day Cover==
{|
|[[File:Country Year Title FDC.jpg|thumb|450px|FDC]]
|}
  • Change the Country, Year, Title to the set you are currently working on.

Now lets do it step by step :

  • Go to the page you want to add a FDC and click edit.
