A New Look

Well I guess by now you have already realized that this site has a whole new look. Many of you were helpful in giving comments when I gave a preview of the new design. I am quite excited about this one and believe it will serve the site well. I decided to highlight recent posts and recent comments since that will help people find some of the ongoing discussions. I have also kept a large area on the main and archive pages so I can use that to highlight other things (such as the Purpose Driven Life discussion that I have highlighted at the moment).

I believe things are fairly stable right now, though I still have lots of work to do. Unfortunately I do not have a lot of spare time this morning so may not get to some of it until later today. Things I need to fix still are: misc graphic issues, a couple of dead links and the main archive page. I’m sure other little things will pop up too.

    What if you could see every note you’ve written on the Sermon on the Mount when you read Matthew 5? That’s InBible. When writing a note, tap any Bible reference to see the passage in context. When reading Scripture, select a verse to see every note that cites it. Insights you recorded years ago resurface…
