SWML stylesheets

Sat Feb 3 05:35:59 UTC 2007

Hi Jonathan,

I tried those three links . . . the first two (Humpty Dumpty & the 
Itsy-Bitsy Spider) worked pretty well.  The third one, though, that opened 
into SignText, had some problems: some of the signs were cut off halfway 
down.  That's a problem I notice a lot, though, even when I'm just using 
SignText:  When I press the "Options" button, parts of my signs disappear!  
I did have another problem with the Itsy-Bitsy spider though; at some part 
of each sign, they're labeled with sign numbers (sign 1, sign 13, sign 
10...) and I find that distracting.

I'm using Mozilla Firefox.

Hope the feedback helps!
