\"Five<\/center><\/p>\n

I thought I’d start doing my favorite websites this week. This will be a multi-week series so if there’s a subject you want covered, simply leave it in the comments.<\/p>\n

Before I start, could y’all do me a favor and pray for\/send positive thoughts to Hevel<\/a>? He’s a participant in this meme and the Quick Takes<\/a> and he’s been in the hospital with encephalitis for almost two weeks now. Thanks!<\/p>\n

Online Bible.<\/strong> Have you ever wondered what the 23rd Psalm sounds like in Czech<\/a>? What about John 3:16 in Amharic<\/a> (the language of Ethiopia)? Bible Gateway<\/a> and The Unbound Bible<\/a> are my two favorites. Bible Gateway<\/a> will give you straight text while a href=”http:\/\/unbound.biola.edu\/” title=”The Unbound Bible”>The Unbound Bible will let you compare translations side-by-side and has a ton of resources for translation\/Bible study\/word studies. If I need to know what a Scripture reference is about quickly, I instinctively go to Bible Gateway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Online Translation.<\/strong> I’m wholeheartedly a Google person so I love Google Translate<\/a>. It has many more languages than Bing Translator<\/a> though Bing Translator<\/a> includes two dialects of Klingon. I also am a user of Google Chrome so Google Translate<\/a> automatically pops up for me.<\/p>\n

Online Bookstore.<\/strong> I’m going with BarnesandNoble.Com<\/a> on this one because I have a NOOK. I think if I had a Kindle, I would be solely an Amazon.Com<\/a> girl. (I use Amazon.Com<\/a> for everything else.)<\/p>\n

Blogging Software.<\/strong> I think there’s a WordPress<\/a> button somewhere on my front page. \ud83d\ude42 I’ve been using WordPress<\/a> and its predecessor b2<\/a> for 10 years now. I haven’t been able to create my own templates from scratch since v. 1.5 (summer of 2005) but I still love it and could probably write my own template if I would bother to learn PHP.<\/p>\n

Feed Reader.<\/strong> As Google Reader<\/a> will be heading the way of the dodo this summer, I’ve jumped on the Bloglovin<\/a> bandwagon. It took a few days to adjust but it is an improvement over Google Reader<\/a> as the feed is grouped by the order things are posted rather than being grouped by site and the Patheos.Com<\/a> blogs actually display in full text in the reading frame.<\/p>\n
