Oh dear. Those are A LOT of addresses. Suddenly I feel that
the idea of the site's containg only the most basic links
is vanishing.

These two I have.

It might be a good idea to have these two official links
as well.

And someone (Arthaey?) gave me the address to this chart.

These might perhaps be included. Are they invaluable?

Hmmm. Are these links really invaluable to a conlanger?

These are both good and very conlangy to their nature.
I might add them both.

Gee. That's a bit too much. Any visitor to my site will be
swamped with links and that's not the idea. It is rather the
opposite.

New idea: What about making a new subfolder, with more specific
links than the fewer "invaluable" ones on the main page? Then
I could add just one link on the main page which states "more
links to conlang related mailing lists" and "links to fontmaking
programs". Would that be a good idea?

Anyway, thanks for all the link tips. I'll get to it when I get
home tonight. That's a Funky Friday Night [TM] for ya! :D

Yes.
