Multiple passages, topic autofill, facebook and more...

First of all, thanks to all of you for using and participating in eBible.com. Together we serve the living God, the King of Kings and we are excited about the small part eBible.com will play in connecting us to each other and to Him through His Word.
Make sure you take a second to add your church as one of your communities so we can continue towards our goal of better connecting everyone as they use the site. Last night we pre-populated our communities database with 20,000 Canadian Churches so that many of you in Canada (like us!) will be able to find your church straight away.
Multiple Passages Support
We have started to redesign the main page where Bible passages are displayed. We call this the “quickview” page opposed to the “studybrowser” page where the Bible is also displayed with more study features available. One of the reasons for the changes is to support multiple passage lookup. If you have a list of verses or passages that you want to look up you can just enter them all at once separated by spaces or commas. Here is an example:
matthew 22:30, hebrews 13:4, luke 20:34-35, 1 Corinthians 7
Share on Facebook
Another change available on the quickview page as well as other places on the site is ability to share on facebook. For all those out there who do not know what Facebook is …. you will …and this is just a simple way to share a Bible verse with a friend on Facebook or post it to your Facebook profile.
Topics Autofill
Now you can more easily browse the Bible by topic with the new autofill searchbox on the Bookmarks tab. Just start typing and see all the topic suggestions you can find related verses for.
You should let us create communities that aren’t churches. For example, I graduated from Philadelphia Biblical University and would like to create a community for that.
Your hard work continues to be evident in the eBible site!
Blessings!
