Also, from a purely selfish point of view, i think that the Australian flag should be used to represent the english language. I have no better justification for this than my nationality... <BR/><BR/>:PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-41086964658924335102007-07-19T17:23:00.000+03:002007-07-19T17:23:00.000+03:00I didn't knew that tutorial - very nice.

Thanks a bunch, and please, please keep 'em coming.<BR/><BR/>I didn't quite understand the bit at the top about sending email to the gmail address at the top, so I didn't. Is this your email, to say thank you? Is this someone who discouraged you from writing these?<BR/><BR/>If the latter, just ignore the haters, and accept our thanks.<BR/><BR/>One thing that did bug me a little is the combined Union Jack/American Flag mashup to represent the English translation. I'm a fairly patriotic American, and personally, I'd rather just see the Union Jack to represent the English translation than some sort of awful hybrid. I suspect British persons might feel the same way. This isn't just directed at you, I've seen the same thing elsewhere. I'm not really offended by it, though.<BR/><BR/>I'd suggest using the American flag to represent English, since there are probably more American English speakers visiting than British English, but alas, we've bombed too many countries recently to avoid the 'imperialist' label if we try to push our flag everywhere. I say, let's give the Brits this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-56708307549985784852007-07-18T15:38:00.000+03:002007-07-18T15:38:00.000+03:00Indeed, creating buttons is a basic task and doing...Indeed, creating buttons is a basic task and doing it with Inkscape is a breeze ;)nicuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787116898361050437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-60343831296093804842007-07-18T15:27:00.000+03:002007-07-18T15:27:00.000+03:00Cool tutorial!
