Sorry, this post is for programmer’s only.  But look on if you’re a glutton for punishment and boredom.

I’ve been working on using the NKJV in the BibleMemory.us program for some time now.  Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s going to happen.   

Here’s some code to utilize JSON, which doesn’t really utilize JSON, but returns formatted HTML.  eBible.com’s documentation doesn’t currently include an example.  Thanks to Scott at www.godspeedcomputing.com for his help.  (They’re the makers of www.eBible.com).

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type=”text/javascript”>

function receivedText(obj) {
 document.write(obj[0].text);
}
</script>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.ebible.com/api/ebibleSnippet?callback=receivedText&source=MSG&q=John1%3A3&apikey=YOUROWNAPIKEYHERE”></script>

</body>

</html>

I should also thank http://developer.yahoo.com/common/json.html for help.  I don’t think this will work out for BibleMemory.us.   We’ll see.

Review!

Friday, January 19th, 2007

Good morning, everyone!  I thought I’d take a moment to remind everyone to review your learned verses. 

How do you do that, you may ask?  Easy!  Log into to the Member Home Page, click “Review all my learned verses.”

Let’s keep our verses that we’ve worked hard to learn fresh in our minds.

You may have noticed that I removed our talking avatar, Dave.  I dunno, I guess I got kind of tired of him.  I can easily put him back if there are enough people who want him back.  Please comment below.

Have a great day. 

Bible Reading Plans

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

Stephen Smith at the ESV Bible Blog suggests that we sign up for an emailed Bible reading plan, which is a great idea for the new year. They offer ESV delivery via email and via a RSS feed.

He feels, like me, that RSS is the better way!

Another option for daily Bible reading via email is Bibleinayear.org, which has a number of different Bible versions.

This blog has been kind of quiet lately, have you noticed? Between holiday activities and trying to install VectorLinux on an old PC, I’ve been away from the BibleMemory.us blog and BibleMemory.us development in general, unfortunately.

Coming soon to the BibleMemory.us program: add your own RSS feeds to the Member Home Page, and, most importantly, customize your BibleMemory program with your own verses.
