Week 8: Google Translate
Google translate is not a very good program as far as perfect translation goes. It does, however, give us a rough idea of what the translation means, but I think meanings can be misused or mistranslated and that is bad in a real life setting. As a Russian minor, google translate was an awful choice to ever use when trying to be perfect but it did help when I was having a hard time getting the overall idea of a story or writing. It doesn't always make sense.
This is the translation of Aesop's Fables in Italian,
The classic fairy tales of Aesop and Phaedrus
The fable is a short story so characteristic of Western culture than to the east; acting in it mostly animal characters, behind which is easy to identify as many types of human behavior. Through the pleasantness of the narrative of the fable pursues an aim gnomic, suggesting a way of life in the name of prudence, diligence, awareness of his own limitations.
In the Western tradition the story is inextricably linked to the name of Aesop, enigmatic character who lived between the seventh and sixth centuries. B.C. which is attributed to the codification of the genre, as well as its self-affirmation in the literary landscape. The large corpus of stories attributed to this legendary figure was later revised and enlarged by later authors (Phaedrus, I sec.d. C; Babrio, II century AD.; Aviano, IV century AD.); grammarians and rhetoricians use it also for the teaching of basic language skills and the rudiments of compositional practice.
The iconographic tradition connesa the name of Aesop proceeds, both in ancient as in the modern world, along two parallel tracks: on one hand we are confronted with exhibits focusing on the character of the writer of fables and anecdotes of his life, all in the name of a 'irreverent wisdom; with the other evidence relating to fables. The latter know more luck in the context of the Middle Ages, who appreciate the character imaginative, allegorical and uplifting; are the subject of renewed interest, finally, in the Renaissance world, when, in addition to the drastic selection of stories survivors during the middle ages, the road becomes progressively recover the original footage in the Greek language.

Blogger Templates Tech Tip
After reading the blogger template tech tips, I chose the Ethereal template in pink. Pink is my favorite color and it was very easy on the eyes, and I was able to customize the layout of my columns! The background was already very nice with the hummingbirds, which happen to be my favorite birds, and I love the overall simple look of the template. Using only two columns on each side of my blog posts makes for a balanced look with just enough info to fill in the simplistic scheme. I kept the standard fonts and color scheme, because I felt as if it was already set up in a fashion that I approved of.
I think simple layouts help keep the focus on the content of the blog without being overpowering. Sometimes too much going on can be a bad thing, especially if it's leading the audience away from what is really important!
As far as blogging goes, I have some experience in personal blogging with wordpress.com in relations to my art hobbies. I also used a very simple setup for my personal blog, with a navigation bar, archive, and about me being the only other content other than my blog posts. Blogging is an awesome way to keep content organized and that is really what got me into it in the first place! I love writing and having a place to gather all my samples and thoughts is really helpful.
