Blog Maintenance - Upgrade and Switch Over

I'm hoping to upgrade the BW blog this weekend. Please be patient as we work out the kinks. We're switching to WordPress, which should allow us to organize the site in a much more efficient way. Here's hoping all goes well! The file paths should remain the same from the files page.

Chart on Latin texts available in BibleWorks and other software

Another plug for a helpful post by Mark Hoffman. Earlier I posted a link for downloading a couple of versions of the Latin Vulgate and I mentioned that I am no expert in the Vulgate. Well I stand by my word on that, but in case you are interested in different versions of the Vulgate, Mark compiled a table which shows some of the Latin text versions and what Bible software programs have them.

Helpful list of modules

I've referenced his blog numerous times before, but Mark Hoffman provides another great post on his blog in which he creates an organized list of BibleWorks versions available and breaks them down into different groups in order for you to see what is all available. As the number of user databases have grown, the list has become quite long and so it's nice when others reorganize the data into ways which make it easier to see what's all out there.

If you want to download some of these lists check out the following links:

BibleWorks 7 Tutorial/Tips Online

Did you know that if you Google "BibleWorks 7" this blog doesn't even show up on the first page of searches? Well it didn't yesterday anyway, but in a shameless effort in order to increase the logic of the search engine, I will try to mention BibleWorks 7 specifically more often.

(This actually is not even an ego- or monetary-driven plot. I think if someone is looking at BibleWorks 7 this website would be one of the best things they would want to know about because they would learn that when they purchase BibleWorks 7, they're not only getting all of the great things that come as part of the program, they're also getting a humongous list of other freebies, some of which are not available on any other platform.)

However, in a Google search for "BibleWorks", our blog does show up and on the first page of the search is also this neat little link to an instructional guide to BibleWorks 7 from the Yale Divinity Library.

Now chances are you aren't going to learn anything new from it if you've been using BibleWorks 7 for a long time, but sometimes we learn best by constant review and seeing things explained from a different point of view. Also, if you're like me, you probably only read Help files as a last resort, so you might have missed something really basic quite early on. In any case, here's the link for you again:
