The site in 2001:
Additions, modifications, news

 
December 2001 + Road signs. Rocks from New Zealand and men at work (Jan Breine & Erika Van Den Bergh). A very different rock-sign from the USA by Ronnie Fong (new contributor). Children and rocks from Bolivia (new country) by Mark Plessers. Some interesting new children's signs from Canada by Darryl Young
Mills. The mill Guaso on line. De molen van Guaso is on line.
  + Painted adverts. Some very nice murals of brands already on the site Fiat trucks, Frigéco, but also several new brands: Orange lubricant, Trans World Airlines, washing machines Laden and Television sets L.M.T. all by Christian Morsard (new contributor!)
November 2001 + It was necessary to split the chapter about Fish in advertising into four sections: goldfish, colourful fish, sharks and other fish. We have now 40 fish-samples on line showing how each group has its own meaning. Vissen in de reclame is nu opgedeeld in vier secties: goudvissen, kleurrijke vissen, haaien en overige vissen die elk een eigen taal spreken.
  + Children from New Zealand keep their distance from Australia. A new country by new contributors (Jan Breine & Erika Van Den Bergh)!
  + The bottom of the box shimmers through. Almost no more roadsigns waiting for insertion on the site. A lot of countries are still missing from the list, though. But some countries never attract one of our team, nor any other roadsign-buff. I can always hope for a sponsorship, I guess.
