Mólt gratlu.

See below.

Yes, as least four. My main project at the moment is Wenedyk, a Romance conlang
that underwent the same development from Vulgar Latin as Polish did from
Proto-Slavic. It's webpage is
<http://www.geocities.com/wenedyk/language/index.html>
Furthermore, I have Hattic and Askaic, two closely related Indo-European
languages (an obsolete website about Hattic is at
<http://steen.free.fr/hattic.htm>, but I intend to renew it soon). And last but
not least, there is Vozgian, a (North) Slavic language. This was my first
conlang, and recently I started to redo it from the beginning.

No, it is Wenedyk for "wrote" (Latin "scripsit" > Wen. "skrzypszy"). The Dutch
word would have been "schreef". As for my address, well, there is no
"yahoo.nl", and the UK comes closest at least. The additional advantage of a
British address instead of a "yahoo.com" address is that I almost don't get any
spam.

Well, Joe got it right. It would be: "Mijn naam is ...".
I have had a very quick look, but not the time yet to read it more carefully.
Indika looks a bit like a Romance language to me (which to my taste is a good
thing!), but I really need more time.
