Blog updates! New gadgets!

I've added a couple of doodads to this blog, a new template and some Latin widgets. Take a little time to look around and see what you think.

In the left sidebar, you'll find:

• The Roman Kalendar, which gives you the current date as Romans would have numbered it, along with the (pagan) holiday associated with that date in ancient times. (We'll be learning about the Roman calendar in Capitulum XIII.)
• Below that, a Latin motto that changes each day, along with its English translation. These mottoes will give you a little insight into conventional Roman attitudes.
• Then there is a Latin word of the day, with a little audio gadget that will pronounce it for you and the equivalent English expressions.
• Below this are links to web resources and Latin-related websites that you might like to explore.

In the right sidebar is mostly course-related stuff, including links to "follow" or "subscribe" to the blog -- if you become a follower or subscriber, you will receive notices by email whenever I post something new.

Let me know if you have any questions about anything on the blog, have trouble reading the new color scheme, etc.
