Deseretica: Name that quote #2...

About This Blog

Welcome to Deseretica - a blog devoted to the Deseret Alphabet.

I created this blog as a place to practice writing in Deseret, to provide some online text for others to read in Deseret, and to engage other interested folks in conversation regarding the Deseret Alphabet.

Please feel free to comment on any of the entries presented here. Specifically, if you have suggestions or comments on the usage of Deseret Alphabet in these entries, please use the 'comment' tool to post your comments.

I originally tried to publish this entire blog using the Huneybee font which reproduces text using the Deseret Alphabet, but found that it was confusing to readers who did not have the font installed to see the strangely formed words. Indeed the extensive use of symbols (~`!#$%^&*_-+=) to create all of the 38 letters in the Deseret Alphabet using the Huneybee font makes it look like a blog full of bleeped profanities when the font is not present!

For this reason and also to ensure that comments and other text are always displayed in Roman characters, I have reconsidered the blog and decided to use images for the text passages represented in Deseret Alphabet.

For more information on the Deseret Alphabet, feel free to start with the resources that helped me on my way including DeseretAlphabet.com and the excellent book: A Complete Guide to Reading and Writing the Deseret Alphabet (Paperback) by Neil Alexander Walker (Author)
