WordLive - The Sequel

I’m delighted to announce that we have launched a new version of WordLive. You will see a few changes, including:

• A new simplified splash page (you’ll need to log out and type in http://www.wordlive.org/ again to see this).
• A new welcome video on the splash page to entice people to dive right in.
• A new visual way in to the content for each day. You’ll see a photo as part of the Pray First activity
• The content that is common for the whole week is now moved to the side of the page reducing some of the busyness of the wheel.
• If you click on ‘Give’ you will see some exciting new icons and some simplified procedures around donating. It is now possible to donate via direct debit.
• The blog (woohoo, that's this) is now pulled through directly on the main page.
• A newly created section called ‘About God’. This is a set of introductory items on the basics of Christianity. This section is ideal as a way in for those who are new to the Christian faith.
• There are also changes in the email making it a lot easier to read.
• You can also share content from WordLive using the Share button at the bottom of the activity. This can link through to key social network sites such as facebook etc.
• We’ve also radically revised the text in ‘About WordLive’. I recommend you read that through – it will equip you to talk about WordLive!

There are also a host of other changes which you won’t see which do various things such as making the log in process easier.

But don't take my word for it, take a look yourself.

Grab a God moment at WordLive.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

WordLive gives you the Bible, prayer and various other items to help you get into the Bible. To help you, understand it a little more, to think over what it said and most of all catch a glimpse of God through its words.


One thing we noticed during our closed beta test was that after the day's Bible passage had been read, and you moved on to a different activity, you couldn't refer back to the Bible passage without closing the activity. This, we thought, and also a large number of you too, wasn't for the best. And so, being the caring souls that we are, we sweated night and day, thinking and creating a solution... actually it wasn't just the royal 'we', it was the rest of the the team at SU and also those lovely people at baigent, but we don't want to give them all the credit (okay, most of the sweating was from them). And that solution is now live on the site.


The first major update to WordLive is now there for you all to use. You'll notice a tab on the top, right hand side of the activity page that is titled Today's Bible Passage. If you click on this, the tab extends and reveals Today's Bible Passage, for you to read alongside the activity you are doing (not too difficult to grasp). Then if you click the little x in the top, right hand corner of the Bible passage window, the window closes. Voila, the Bible passage in all its glory, to be looked at alongside the activity you are doing.

This is the first, but by no means last, development of WordLive.

You talk, we listen and we do our best to improve your experience!
