I'm summarising the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day.
It's a three-and-a-half year project. I started on 8 August 2010 and I'm on course to finish on 8 November 2013.
The @biblesummary account has 23,928 followers.
Bible Summary has been featured in the news all over the world.
Find out about the project here, check out my progress, or feel free to get in contact.
You may have noticed that the website is looking slightly different...
In anticipation of reaching the half-way point in a couple of weeks, I decided it was time to freshen up the design.
The layout is similar, and the functionality is basically the same, but I've tried to simplify things and create a better overall effect.
As always with these things, I'll likely still be fiddling with details over the coming days.
Do say if you spot anything that's not working. I've designed for the latest browsers, so there may well be issues in older versions.
I've updated the Bible Summary Facebook page to the new 'Timeline' layout. Have a look and see what you think.
If you click 'Like' you'll get the summaries on your Facebook feed each day.
If you have a Twitter account, you can now retweet or 'favourite' any summary directly from this website.
Go to an individual chapter page (e.g. Genesis 1 or Psalm 1) and use the icons beneath the summary.
The keener-eyed among you may have noticed that I've changed my 'full chapter' links to point to eBible.com.
I've been looking for a Bible site with fewer adverts for a while now, so that's the main reason for the change. But it looks like the eBible team have interesting plans for the future as well. I'd recommend checking them out!
I've finally linked Bible Summary to Facebook! From now on you'll be able to get the summaries each day by 'liking' www.facebook.com/biblesummary.
You can now buy 'Bible Summary: The Pentateuch' for Kindle at Amazon. It's all the summaries for Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy as a Kindle eBook.
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy
Kindle eBook. Buy from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk
Profits will go towards further development of the project.
In celebration of passing 1000 words yesterday and 15,000 followers this morning, I've put up a Stats page.
Here are a few slightly geeky observations, appropriate for a post entitled 'Stats'...
You can get about 25 words to a tweet. The average on my stats page says 23.9, but that doesn't include the reference at the beginning of each summary.
I'm averaging 137.5 characters per tweet. If I continue at that rate, the full summary will be 163,487.5 characters long. (How am I going to do that half-character?) That's actually less than I would have guessed.
I've included 'change in followers' as one of the categories. There's usually a drop in followers for a couple of hours immediately after I post, but an increase of about 20-40 overall by the next morning.
If the current rate of growth continues I'll have about 50,000 followers when I finish the project. I've been gaining 20-40 followers each day for a couple of weeks now (excluding the days when Bible Summary is mentioned in the news etc.) so I'm guessing that will be the average. But who knows - maybe everyone will decide to unfollow one day after a particularly poor summary somewhere in Leviticus!
And a bonus, not from the Stats page...
Wyoming is holding out as the only US state not to send a visitor to www.biblesummary.info. Google Analytics informs me that I've had visitors from 115 countries and all 49 other US states.
