Some additions/changes: IPA, Archives, AmTm, RSS

IPA
I have taken the decision of implementing the use of the IPA - the International Phonetic Alphabet. It will make it much easier for me to transcribe pronunciations and sounds, instead of using other methods that might be confusing. When I do make use of the IPA, I will make fairly simple transcriptions, so that one needn't be a specialist on the matter to be able to read them. I believe the average reader of this blog has some knowledge of the IPA, enough to the extent of my purpose. For further detailed information, visit the International Phonetic Association, the body responsible for the IPA. The font I will be using is Lucida Sans Unicode, which is actually already pre-installed in most computers today. If you're able to read this θɪŋ as the phonetic transcription for the word thing (with no squares), then you have it in your system. If not, however, you may download it for free here. If you have any questions about the font or the IPA, please feel free to contact me.

Archives
I have also changed the archiving system. Before, the archive was setup to group the entries by month, now, it is so by day. Please update any links that you have may to particular entries, as they won't any longer work; one will be redirected to the homepage. Excuse the inconvenience. This is a one-time change, that I have been wanting to do. The URL for the blog itself is still the same: romanika.blogspot.com.

AmTm
Ask me, Tell me is a section that I decided to set up through which visitors may inquire to me anything concerning the topics on the blog, or, concerning any of the languages that I speak, whether it be grammar, dialectology or anything. I will try to respond, and if I don't know the answer, I will research it. These questions will serve as entries themselves to the blog. As well, visitors may propose a topic which they think is apt to be discussed by me here, or, to ask me to post my opinion on a particular subject.

RSS Feed
I've set up an RSS feed for the blog since I've also had some visitors ask for one. The address for it is: http://romanika.blogspot.com/rss/romanika.xml.

All of the things discussed here will be available from the side bar on the blog.
