Great. I see you became inspired to try to use SignPuddle...I am so glad!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>If you would prefer to be listed under D for Dutch Sign Language on the opening directory page, I can change that icon for you, but the link sgn-NL still has to remain the same, now that the link is established on the internet I do not want to change it...plus the international postal code for the Netherlands is NL...we are using the standard postal codes as our method of linking to the nearly 40 signed language regions now...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>So this will be your url no matter what...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Sign Language of the Netherlands</DIV><DIV><A href="http://www.SignBank.org/signpuddle/sgn-NL">http://www.SignBank.org/signpuddle/sgn-NL</A></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Regarding the English word Dutch, versus the word Netherlands, I feel I need to change that whole directory page to have the name of the sign languages to be in both the native spoken language of the country, and also in English in smaller size type...So in time I will need your word in Dutch for Dutch...smile...if you know what I mean!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Now, in regards to deleting signs in your SignPuddle...Anyone can add signs, without being an editor, but to delete and rename signs, you need to become an Editor...by invitation only (smile) and now I will invite you!
