>> It is a simple page that shows the sign written in SignWriting, and to the right of the sign, is the animated version of it…

>> We could have an entire site devoted to this Animated SignWriting Dictionary and Animated SignWriting Literature idea…
>> 
>> It could be a relaxed project for fun with no deadlines or any pressure at all (I do not like deadlines or pressure ;-) 
>> 
>> Just whenever the whim hits, do a few animations, and save them in a file. Then we can post them in a new site...

>> And that brings up the next question….Steve and Jonathan…could SignPuddle and SignWriter Studio store animated GIFs?
