To 10,000 people I’ve turned one!

mmm, this picture makes me feel hungry. Click image to link to the source. Today I reached 10,000 (ok, it’s past 12:00 so I guess it was technically yesterday and the number was actually 10,044) individual user sessions and at the same time I reached one year of blogging (um, this milestone was really reached [...]

Digital vacation

This is the longest I’ve gone with nothing to say. *blush* OK, I admit, I have plenty to say but I’ve been gagged. My PC crashed, I went from XP to Windows 7 and my 3G card isn’t compatible or something so I’m left without internet access at home. Hence the time of silence. I’ll [...]

An exciting new feature on Because He Lives brings the reader closer to the text by making them a listener. Click image to enlarge.

If you’ve read this blog for any length of time you’ll know by now that Scripture is very important to me. I normally write a story, it has a bit of dialog, maybe a few pictures, a probing question and almost always a single Bible verse.

Context, when anyone comes to Scripture they have to be concerned about context and my format doesn’t allow for that. So I’m really excited to bring a completely new feature to the blog Because He Lives. Under each verse is a little play button, if you click it you’ll have the opportunity to listen to the entire chapter that the verse quoted is found in. That means that if you’re interested in the post you’ll be able to ensure the contextual integrity of what I’m saying.

What are the “Track Because He Lives” buttons all about?

What I’m talking about.

So I’m slowly coming to grips with the technology of blogging. It’s not a difficult thing to get into but it’s rather harder to understand the ins and outs of how it works. Over a period of time I’ve begun to put a few helpful ways of interacting with this blog together. I thought a post explaining the basic technologies would be helpful.
