Created 10 April 2000, links updated monthly with the help of LinkAlarm.

Note: Flag next to a link shows what language the website is in. This is sometimes obvious by what country the link is for or the fact that the title is in English. If I feel it may be ambiguous, I have tried to clarify by using a flag. This is done so that people can read sites in the language of their choice. A flag followed by International Gesture for Sign Language, means it offers animated texts in that country's sign language. If a globe is followed by this icon, there is an animated text in International Gesture: globe: globe (international icon)Sign Language icon
