Now you can have all the Bible references on your website point to the Bible Gateway. You don’t have to go back and re-do your site . . . just add a bit of code just above your in your website template and you’re good to go. It’s a free tool, of course. Every reference you have will automatically point to the Bible Gateway (an online Bible) using the version of your choice. Additionally (and optionally), you can add a small icon by each reference. It doesn’t matter if you have abbreviations as your references; this tool will recognize them as well. You can also list references like this: Num. 6:24-26; 11:10; 23; 22:34; 24:17 . . . and it recognizes them (unlike the solution I’m using for this blog – maybe I’ll switch things up). What an amazing tool! I’m going to implement it on truthsaves as soon as I get all the outlines pages updated with proper references. Unfortunately, when formatting the outlines, I just put chapter numbers next to things (and sometimes just verse numbers), and this tool can’t transform single numbers into links (obviously). So it’ll take a while to get everything straight on truthsaves. I tested it tonight, though, and it was absolutely amazing! All my references, all over the site, magically appeared as links to the Bible Gateway online Bible, using the ESV (English Stadard Version). There’s also a cool little plugin for WordPress blogs. I’m using a different solution for this blog, but the Bible Reference Tagger works in a similar manner and has more options.
