Sorry guys, I did not create this website. There is a red warning located here on the website

"JavaScript is required. For best results, I strongly recommend using Firefox or Google Chrome. Some functionality is broken under Internet Explorer, Konqueror, Opera Mini, and the default Android Web browser. And don't even bother trying Lynx or Elinks."

Maybe update your Java too. It worked for me in Safari too. Good luck

It's working now! The first dozen times I tried to make it load, it didn't ! I was on my Mac book pro.

Just a beginner here, but could one of you recommend the settings for Spencerian guidelines? These are great links, but the original one seems to make the ascenders and descenders equal to x height. In my Mott workbooks, they look like half the height of x...

Hi All ~

I used the link below several times to print out very customized guidelines.  It was AWESOME!  However, now when I go to the link, it appears it no longer exists - ? - Has anyone else had this same experience?  If it's gone, can anyone recommend a guideline generator that was equally awesome, customizable, and easy? OMGosh I hope so!

http://shipbrook.net/guidelines/

Thanks for any info you can provide :-)

Hi @rubyrose5757

That was my go-to as well.  I went to print some new pages the other day (within a week) and it wasn't working for me either.  Hopefully it's just undergoing maintenance or something and it will be back up, but in the meantime there are other options.  In another corner of the forum there's a great collection of options:

https://theflourishforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=6233.0

The first one is not bad.  Mind you I was printing for Copperplate, not Spencerian, but I believe most of them have a wide variety of options.  Good luck!  Here's hoping Shipbrook will be back on line.  This is a good reminder to save the templates you like, I suppose.  :/

Oh no @rubyrose5757 ! I'm so sad! That one was my favorite!  :'(

I hope you are right @KristinT and he is just doing maintenance.

Thanks for providing the other link!  ;) This is a good one as well: Template Guidelines.
