Anyone out there using Wordpress as your blog platform? Now you can bring every Bible reference (ie Gen 1:1-6) in all past and future blog posts to life with the new eBibleicious WordPress plugin. After installing and quickly configuring it your visitors will be able to see all verses hyperlinked to eBible.com automatically (no special markup needed). You can also use our popular mouseover mode that is displayed at this plugin demo blog.

Last night we launched a new Javascript API called eBibleicious. Why did we call it that? Well … why not is the better question?
It is a very simple way to make your blog, CMS or website eBibleicious. Just one line in fact to make every Bible reference on your site come alive in 4 cool ways. So check it out and let us know how we can make it better. The idea is to now use it to make really simple blog and CMS plugins for the world. The first one is a simple Wordpress plugin that should be out in the next week or so (email me if you want to help test it now).
But the bigger story here is that we are looking for help with a lower-level API – the ultimate eBible webservice. In two years we have built a strong foundation of backend code and licensed some great Bibles and reference content to match. We are using Ruby on Rails and so doing a REST-like API that returns beautiful XHTML is pretty straight forward. The goal is to open up our platform so that no developer will ever have to go through all the pain and expense fun that we did. The feature requests we keep getting are awesome but we will never be able to build every online Bible related feature or service or application out there. That is where you … and the eBible.com API come into play.
So let’s hear what you want specifically in an API, what you want first, or what you want to build with an API to help work backwards from there.
