Ecce!

Behold! If you become a contributor, I don't have to moderate your comments. You live, you learn.

I know some of you are having trouble with becoming contributors. We'll figure it out in class over the next couple of days.

Nota bene

I will be moderating comments before they are published, so don't worry if your comment doesn't show up when you try to post. Also, I don't want to give away the super-secret answer to my question, so I am waiting to publish until almost everyone has submitted a comment!

Thanks to those of you who have commented and logged on as contributors.

Arma gravi numero...

Salvete, discipuli!

You are going to be my guinea pigs this year as I create my first Latin-oriented blog. We'll have opportunities to ask one another questions about and comment on the poetry of Ovid and Vergil (and maybe even Catullus!) in this forum. Has something stumped you? Do you need help with meter, grammar, or translation? What the heck is going on in Amores I.2? Have you noticed something cool about the word order in a line of Vergil's Aeneid? How does one spell "hendecasyllabic"? (Like that.)

We may start slowly with this at first, but I hope we will have the opportunity to use this blog more as the year goes on.
