NEW! Widgets and Gadgets NEW!

Ok, I know most of you are on holiday and taking it easy, so I'm not getting much traffic flowing through here. However, I've taken advantage and incorporated some changes - hopefully, you'll like them; your comments would be much appreciated.
On the left column, you'll now see a few new items.
You can show your loyalty to this site by incorporating a button on your site to link your readers to here. Just copy the html code and paste it in your site's HTML section.
Further down, you can now search for words in The Free Dictionary and Macmillan dictionary directly. ***EDIT*** I have since removed Macmillan because the style clashes with my template. Sorry. End of EDIT***
And even further down, you can put your spelling skills to the test! There are 3 levels to choose from, but please note that it's a US version.
And don't forget to look at the phrasal verb and the idiom on the right column, and not forgetting the Tao Te Ching at the bottom!
Happy learning and have fun!
