Verse of the Day Widget

Hello All!

I've been hard at work getting new things prepared for BibleShared.com. Among those things is a widget that will show the "Verse of the Day". Unfortunately that requires going through the Scriptures and picking out 365 different verses to feature. That's a LOT of work!

Just going through my own margin notes, I can come up with around 80-100, but I need your help! If you have a favorite verse, or one that you think should be a "verse of the day", post it as a comment to this blog, and I'll see what we can do about including them in the rotation.

Thanks to TwinkleMom for the suggestion!

KJV and Search Features

In my January 18th blog, I promised to develop two search features by the 17th of February. Well, it is the 16th and both of those features are now available for general use.
  1. It is now possible to view the text of the Bible in both the King James Version (KJV) and the New American Standard Bible (NASB).
  2. It is now possible to search the Bible and search margin notes.

Both of these features were planned since the very beginning in one way or another, but have been put off until now. My only concern through all of this is that the navigation is starting to get cluttered. I may eventually unify the search so that one page searches both the Bible and margin notes. Until then, this is what is available.

UPDATE 2/17/08 11:00 PM: I unified the two search pages into one page, and added an advanced search page for searching the Bible. It looks so much better now.

I hope you all enjoy these new features, and make frequent use of them!
