Handwriting has a long history, dating back to the beginnings of civilization when the Sumerians wrote on wet clay tablets. Thoughout the years, handwriting has not only become a way of documenting events and transactions, but a symbol of a culture.
Handwriting can be used in forensics as a means of identifying people and forgeries, and has also been used in psychology, called Graphology. Graphology can be used to determine personalities or mental disorders, useful in many feilds.
Specialists can use handwriting analysis in forensics to identify forgeries and ransom notes. Becuase each style of handwriting is distinct, it is very hard to imitate another's handwriting as your own handwriting characteristics will often show through.

When your sight poped up it immedately attracted me in. For two main reasons: the awsome background and how you told me what you were going to talk about. It really made me want to keep reading.
your background reeally does draw my attention, but what impressed me the most was your paragraphs. they were well written and gave alot of information with out being too long.
I like your background and information. You need to add some pictures but your information is really good. =)
