YouVersion
For the last six weeks, I’ve been working with Terry Storch and the LifeChurch.tv team on a really amazing web site called YouVersion.com. Well, today the “Alpha” version is being released to a limited number of people by invitation only.
What is YouVersion?
YouVersion is a Bible web site where you not only read and study the Bible in various translations, but you can also contribute your own content.
For example, while you’re reading a passage from Proverbs such as “Train up a child in the way that he should go,” you can upload a video of you teaching your child to ride a bicycle.
Or while reading The Lord’s Prayer in the book of Matthew or Luke, you post your own prayer. Or you can keep a daily journal. Or you can attach a link to another web site.
You can make the content that you add public or private. Or you can allow just your family or a certain group of people to see it. Really, the sky’s the limit. There are at least 100 different ways to use YouVersion.
I am praying that God will use this incredible site for His glory and fame.
Work Done:
My core responsibilities in YouVersion started out as mainly writing Javascript behaviors, but I’ve also assisted in PHP programming, CSS layout and even page designs such as the home page dashboard, sign up page, sign in page, and the 1-year Bible reading plan page)
