ask my mummy

I was going to say that you might want to try a university site that has an anthropology dept. interested in the subject. But, i see that you have gotten some good answers already. By the way this question intrigued me because the school I went to as a kid had a class in hieroglyphics. The father of one of our students was interested in the subject and volunteered to teach us.
Interesting point that the answerer before makes. The word, hieroglyphic means "sacred writing." Therefore, you see, you wouldn't want to use it for any other pictographic renderings.

How about a book or two? You could get them over Amazon. Two I know are:
Mark Collier & Bill Manley. How to read Egyptian hieroglyphics. British Museum Press,1998

Barbara Watterson. Introducing Egyptian hieroglyphics. Scottish Academic Press,1983.

You might also like to know that Peter Rabbit has been translated into hieroglyphics and published by the British Museum Press.

I agree with David J. Try a book, they are typically MUCH more accurate and reliable than internet resources. I don't allow my students to use more than one internet resource when they write papers and they are required to use real print media.

Oh, sorry, I forgot. A "book" is like a webpage, but it is printed on paper and multiple web pages are bound together between heavy cardstock or boards to keep them together.

And to respond to a previous answer, there are NO American hieroglyphics. "Hieroglyphics" ONLY refers to Ancient Egyptian writing. The term for Mayan, Zapotec, and Olmec writing is "glyph", not "hieroglyph".
