Assisting your choice

As I mentioned previously (scroll down) WordLive offers a variety of content for you to choose from. But more than that we actually give you a little bit of help in deciding what to choose. This is done quite subtly though and so i thought I'd type a few words on the matter.

As the carousel spins around and you mouseover each of the pretty little icons, you'll notice a lozenge opens in the middle of the carousel. Inside the lozenge you'll see some short text explaining what activity you'll be taken to if you click on the icon. What you may have noticed are that the colours of the lozenge change depending on what icon you mouseover. The colours are very pretty too, and will become prettier in the very near future (more about that in another post). In the meantime let me tell you about the different colours.

Each of the colours represents a particular style of activity. The orange / yellow colour means that the activity is of a general nature. The podcasts, Bible passage and other activities that may relate to a whole week's sessions will be this colour. The purple colour represents activities that we feel are of a practical nature. They won't be too deep or heavy and they won't be overly creative or touchy feely.

On the other hand the green lozenge represents a more reflective approach. These activities may well be creative, meditative and touchy feely. You'll also find a little more music in this stream of activities. That leaves us with the blue lozenge. The activities here are a little deeper in nature and more study based. You may even find the odd theological term thrown in for good measure.

So there you have it. The colours of the lozenge revealed.

Freedom to choose

WordLive offers a large amount of content each day. We do this partly out of love, partly because we can, but primarily because we want to offer the user, you, the best chance of hearing God through the Bible. With this in mind we create different activities for each day, as displayed in the revolving carousel. (If you can't see the revolving carousel, then you'll need to install Flash from Adobe, it is a free plug-in, and makes WordLive even more alive.)

Wordive is built around a central Bible passage. This Bible passage is explored in the activities for that day... BUT you don't have to do everything on offer. Some of the activities will make the same point in a slightly different way, perhaps being more creative, more practical or in a deeper more studious way (it may even use long words). Some activities use music, others images, while others are more interactive.

The point is, there is a lot of material for each day, but you may not find all of it useful. Some content works better for some people while other content works better for others. Of course, you may want to click on everything and that is fine, but after reading the Bible passage, the choice is yours. You can do a little or as much as you like. WordLive is for you.
