Year 1 is in the books!

Today marks our one year anniversary at eBible.com and that is pretty exciting. It was only a few months ago that my wife and I celebrated our first year anniversary actually. Anniversaries are a great time to pause and reflect on the things that we have learned, the fun times behind us and also to look ahead with anticipation of many more exciting years ahead. That is what we have been doing around here at eBible.com and very soon you are going to see the fruit of some tough reflection, hard work and a renewed passion and dedication to our vision. A few months ago we decided that we needed to take yet another crack at redesigning the user interface for the site. Our vision is for an electronic Bible, an eBible, a Bible that is unlike anything ever been done before and yet holds the unchanging Word of God at the heart of it. We pushed the limits over a year and a half ago when we launched the eBible.com alpha and have learned sooooo much since that time. You guys have given us oodles of feedback and suggestions and some we have had a chance to implement and others we put on the shelf to revisit later. The eBible.com community has grown from a handful of friends and colleagues to tens of thousands dedicated people seeking God through His Word at the site. This is exciting. But we want more. God gave us a vision for eBible.com and with technology continuing to improve on the Web we are that much closer to realizing it.
All the above is summed up by saying that we have something big in store for you. Instead of working on smaller features the last few months we have dedicated most of our time towards a complete redesign of eBible.com. The goal is something that is more simple, much faster and yet can be used in so many different ways that we can't even guess them all right now. Everyone's bookmarks (notes and topics) will carry across nicely and there will be a time of transition where you can use either the new interface or stick with the current one. All premium users will serve as our beta group this time around because their support of the site is what has enabled this large undertaking. More news will come soon but for now we just want to celebrate one full year with you and let you know that the year ahead is sure to be an exciting time ahead.
Many blessings to you as you continue to love God and love others that He has placed around you.

Congratulations, team eBible! This site is a big blessing to many, many people.
Man you don’t even know how long I’ve waited for this since disabling my own Movable Type widget (that doesn’t work since Haloscan bypasses that code).
THANK YOU!
Congratulations! Best wishes for the future and God bless you.
