Website written in ASL

[Valerie Sutton]

Adam -
Is there a way for you to give a little more time at the beginning  
and ending of the animated gif?...on my iMac, which is a fast  
computer, I see both signs but just barely...it is like the first one  
started too soon and I see the end of the first one, and then the  
second one...If you could put more frames at the beginning of the  
animated GIF so the person's computer has time to process it, then  
maybe the problem would go away...it needs a moment of nothing to get  
started and then the sign should start to move....I bet you can  
improve the animated GIF to start a little later...

No matter what, kudos for trying this unique and valuable idea...

Val ;-)
