How to Create an eGreeting
Email has made keeping in touch with friends and relatives an almost instant pleasure. Unlike letters, however, an egreeting or ecard can include sound, music and motion. Some people send out ecards every day as a way to just drop a line to a friend and keep in touch. Whether it's for a special occasion or just to say hello, there are ecard sites that specialize in just the card you may want to send.

Tips & Warnings
Some egreeting sites contain a service for holding ecards for a later delivery date. You can fill out several cards now and schedule them for delivery later. This can come in handy if you have a habit of forgetting important dates.
