OK, here is the online version of the design Rob put together. It uses your NC WW info for your name and user ID: http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/bizcard.php
Business Cards - Thinking out loud

Cathy, it works for me using firefox.

For those that want to develop these on Business Card stock, I used an Avery 8371 template. Earlier today, I bought a pack of 100 sheets (1,000 cards) of Business Card stock at Sam's Club by a company called Royal Brites for less than $6.00!! I have printed a single sheet (10 cards) on my B&W laser printer for everyone that I believe is coming on the Raleigh Shop Crawl on Saturday or the Staff Meeting on Sunday. (I am sending a PM to Doug Robinson and to Steve Coles to get their latest list of attendees so hopefully I don't miss anyone). I did all of the names I have in about an hour, changing each screen name and real name in the template. I'll have them to pass out on Saturday.
Earlier in this thread, Bas posted a link to his first attempt at creating the cards -- it prints okay, but it is not formatted correctly to fit on the card stock. I'll bring the one I printed to give to Bas on Saturday, and I'll bring a copy of the template from Avery and Royal Brites card stock.

Here are links to some files:
The original Photoshop file: Link
This is the variations within that file as I left them:
Front with Name
Front (Generic)
Back in Color with Name
Back in Black/White Generic
Note: If you don't have Photoshop, or don't know how to use it but want one of these, I'd be glad to make the necessary changes and upload the image to you. Just ask! (PM Me)
If I do an order of generic cards, is there any interest? I'd just plan on ordering a bundle and sending so many out to each interested person (just cover shipping)
FYI - This card is a bit oversized for professional printing with a bleed edge. If you need an exact size, just resize in Photoshop to cut the edges away (Image/Canvas Size) to 3.5"x2"

Jeremy - tried it a couple of time, and get a "page not found" error...
Hmmm... try again, seems to work for me. I think BAS might have fixed the link (?)

Someone did! :icon_chee
Thanks for your work on these. I wanted to get some new personal business cards, with name and contact information, and these will provide a nice one-two punch. I'll be able to provide my information and promote the site as well! Thanks!
FYI
I plan to make it out to Asheville for the Pig Pickin' this weekend ... and if I do I'll bring some of the professionally printed generic North Carolina Woodworker cards with me so people can take a handful. I ordered 2500 ... so please take a bundle!
After that, I plan on being at the Klingspor show and will bring them there too.

FYI - I will be bringing a couple thousand of the "generic" NCWW business cards to invite others to join us to the Klingspor Extravaganza on SATURDAY. I will leave them with the NCWW booth. PLEASE STOP BY AND TAKE A HAND FULL ... they are doing no good sitting in my shop!
FYI - For the Raleigh-area crew ... I left a majority of the business cards that I had printed with Steve Coles ... so they are in your neck of the woods now. If you want some, please get them! They don't do any good collecting sawdust!
