Hello Sandy, Stephen and Everyone!
Congrats on entering the sign for Wales (smile). I extracted the .png
image from the htm file and here it is attached to this message...Looks
good! When you create a sign in SignMaker now, it creates two kinds of
files. One is a graphic image in .png format, and the other is the one
that holds the language information, called a .bld file (Stephen's
development)...So when I opened your htm file, I found the .png file
for Wales there, and I right-clicked on my mouse and downloaded it.
Then I attached the .png to this message.

Did you know that SignPuddle is not on Stephen's server? We moved Sign
Puddle to the SignBank site during the summer which means it is on my
server....not my server in my home...but on DeafVision, where I pay an
annual fee to host our SignBank site. And as far as I know our memory
is ok right now, so go right ahead, Sandy, and be as creative as you
wish! That was why we moved SignPuddle to SignBank, so we would have a
long-lasting, ongoing server for SignPuddle... Val ;-)
