:Reasonable Force

When your first blog post of the new year takes place at the midpoint of March April it is fair to wonder whether you should be paying for hosting at all.

Nevertheless, I continue to do so. Sort of like that YMCA membership my wife keeps telling me I should terminate, only much less expensive!

So, I figure I’ll just take a few moments weeks to ruminate on where I am.

This is a new plugin for linking Bible verse references in web content. Logos Bible Software is a powerful Bible study tool, an earlier version of which I purchased many years ago, but which I have never made full use of. Their newer versions are very impressive and I look forward to upgrading when finances allow it.

In the meantime, Logos has a beta version of an online Bible at Bible.logos.com which, like BibleGateway and others, offers several different translations. The RefTagger plugin has been provided for WordPress, Blogger, and other web2.0 applications as an easy way to link Bible references to the online Bible, but also to provided a tooltip-style popup to view the verse without having to leave the page.

Assuming I have the plugin active as you read this, it should be as simple as typing this reference to Philippians 2:3.

Okay, I saved and previewed the post after typing that last, and what’s nice is that there is no markup on that reference at all and the plugin still knew to link it. There are numerous customizeable features as well that I’m going to have to play with.

One feature that I hope to be able to make use of in the near future is to have RefTagger put a link beside the reference that allows you to open the reference in Libronix, the digital library system of the aforementioned Bible software, from which all of your cross-referenced materials will be instantly available, including commentaries and original language tools.

Thanks to Logos for providing this plugin.
