Brandon Staggs’ SwordSearcher has won for the second consecutive year the People’s Choice award in the category of Best Hobby or Personal Interest. These awards are announced annually at the Software Industry Conference. As you can see, there are quite well-known applications included in the list of winners, so it is definitely encouraging to see a Bible software program doing so well. Congratulations, Brandon!

Tomorrow is the day! Check out the site. Notice that this is an ongoing project, but a promising one nevertheless.

Please update your BSR blog feeds. Thanks!

All those who have subscribed to the previous feeds http://www.bsreview.org/blog/index.xml or http://www.bsreview.org/blog/atom.xml (by far the most popular) should update to http://www.bsreview.org/blog/feed. At least that’s what I’ve had to do in order to make it work again via Bloglines, which is my feed reader of choice. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Under Social Network (lower right hand column) you will find some easy, one-click methods to subscribe. Besides, most modern browsers will allow you to do the same by clicking the RSS button.

On a related note, I’ve noticed that there are still quite a few blogs that link to the outdated URL (http://www.bsreview.org/weblog/blogger.html). Do please update all those links (both to the main page and to the entries’ permalinks). I’m sorry about the hassle, but it is necessary to streamline the blog. If it’s any consolation to you, I have to go through the same process for other people’s blogs on a rather regular basis

The Hebrew text of the online Westminster Leningrad Codex has been updated to version 4.10 (released July 1, 2008). This project, run by Chris Kimball, is a great contribution that is regularly updated and improved with new and helpful features.

Let me remind you that this Unicode/XML text can be downloaded for offline viewing as a 5 MB ZIP file, and that previous versions of the site (except for the most recent one) can be found here.

All of the Logos Bible Software free applications have been conveniently moved to a centralized downloads page. Note that only NoteScraps requires payment if you want to unlock the pro version. Everything else is free for the taking.
