Ning Blog: I've posted something that might be of interest in my Ning Blog - they are page samples from the Aesop's fables book. Someone asked me just how the book was laid out exactly, and I thought this would be the best way to show just how that works! (It's a very useful layout, I think, especially for beginning and intermediate Latin students who need help with vocabulary and grammar while they read.)
Proverbiis Pipilo: You can see my Twitter feed, full of proverbs while I am online each day - here's one of my favorite sayings about learning from your mistakes: Nocumentum documentum.

You can use the Javascript to include the Greek proverb of the day automatically each day on your webpage or blog - and each Greek proverb also comes with a Latin version.
Fable of the Day: Today's fable of the day from Barlow's Aesop is DE AGRICOLA ET FILIIS (the story of how the farmer taught his sons the importance of sticking together - a famous story, although one that people do not always associate with Aesop's fables).

Today's Simplified fable is Fable 20: Leo Amatorius, the story of the lion in love.
