Blogging: User-developed, user-run
Greetings! Welcome to what I hope can be a new resource for you in your study of God's Word, especially if you use Bible software programs and, in this case, BibleWorks specifically. Before we get too far into this, I thought I'd set the stage for what things you can expect from this blog.
First, you must know that this site is not an official BibleWorks blog. This is a blog directed primarily by myself, Michael Hanel, and Jim Darlack, avid users of Bible software who have spent many, many hours working with BibleWorks and other Bible programs out there, but we felt we had something to offer to BibleWorks users. Both of us have been users of BibleWorks for a number of years and both of us have helped make more user-developed freebie extras available to other BibleWorks users. While both of us frequent the official BibleWorks user forums, I kind of pushed to have an off-site place to help distribute and organize these user-developed files. Many of the files (primarily classical Greek-oriented) that I have developed need time to be proofed, fix typos, etc. Having a space like this makes it easier for me to make my corrections and updates without making a mess of BibleWorks forums and trying to figure out where I can store the file or how people can download it. So a major reason for the existence of this website is for the development and distribution of these user-developed files. Therefore, all you'll ever need to do is look to the sidebar on the right side of this blog and you'll instantly be transported to the main-hub for these free upgrades.

White on black is a wee bit painful.
I'm with anonymous.
I know it looks cool, but it is not easy to read.
But your blog is a great idea.
Being a fairly new Bibleworks user, I am thankful for this blog. It's a great idea.
I know it's not an official blog like e.g. the Logos blog, but what seems to be the best bit of the logos blog are the hints/tutorials on how to get the most out of the program.
I wonder whether I could suggest that some of you more mature BW users could, every now and then, dish out some tips and tutorials on how to use BW to the bast of it's ability. I know I'd really appreciate that sort of help.
It a brillian program, and I know it can do alot more than I use it for, and some hints on how to use some of it's more advances features would be brilliant.
Thanks again
