SignWriting List
July 29, 2008

Hello Natasha!
Welcome to the SignWriting List, and I am happy to know that you are  
studying and using SignWriting!

Thank you for adding and writing signs in SignPuddle Online...that is  
terrific...

And yes, we do have an established way to get feedback on writing  
signs. This helps all of us learn and write together. So I hope you  
will write to ask for feedback and suggestions on the writing of  
specific signs...this is true for everyone on the List....questions  
are most welcome...

1. Find the sign you want feedback on, in SignPuddle, and Right-Click  
on the sign with your mouse, to copy the sign or save it to your hard  
drive...

2. Write a message to the SignWriting List, asking for feedback, and  
attach the sign to the email message...

3. Give us the name of the sign, so we can find it in SignPuddle if we  
need to...

Then we will have fun discussing the sign and different ways to write  
it -

Look forward to seeing some of your signs ;-)

Val ;-)
