Christmas break catch up

Ryan Corcoran — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 18:21:53 +0000

After a looooong absence we’re back online to post both here and on The Blog Testament! It is so easy to put off posting when life happens, but that’s the reason we blog–to document as it happens.

With the help of a week of vacation I’ll catch everyone up on the exciting second half of our Japan trip, my youngest sister Chelsea moving in with us for college, Ryan starting grad school, me going off arthritis medicine, and much more.

For now, I’ll leave you with my favorite video of the week: A Social Network Christmas. A very cool rendition of the birth story of Jesus on Facebook, if it had existed back then.

The Blog Testament

In addition to giving our Bible blog a facelift, we also recently held a contest to get a new name. One was chosen, and Blogging the Bible has now become The Blog Testament! The new home is at www.blogtestament.com. Once there, you can still find all your favorite old posts (hopefully), and find links to all the wonderful resources we mention on the blog. Also, don’t forget to change the links to the RSS feed in your favorite RSS reader (like Google Reader).

Head on over to check it out!

Sign our new guestbook!

If you are a first-time or repeat visitor, please stop by and sign our new guestbook. We’d love to hear where you’re from and what brought you by our site!

Thanks for reading!

Newly re-designed site!

Because the process of updating the Blogging the Bible site also broke our main blog page, I decided to bite the bullet and migrate our regular site over to a WordPress blog as well. As with the other site, we’ll be going through old posts and fixing any broken links or images over time, and we will be slowly adding back photo and video galleries as well. We’ve also added an feature that will help you share our posts on Twitter or Facebook (and more), and my favorite new feature–an iPhone-formatted site! Just visit www.ryanandsamantha.info on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or Android phone to check it out!

NOTE: It’s possible that our RSS feed address has changed, so be sure to update that link in your favorite RSS reader.

Leave us a comment and let us know what you think of the new site!

Blogging the Bible Facelift!

Ryan Corcoran — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:48:00 +0000

I’m growing a little weary of Blogger’s sloggish interface and customizability, so I have migrated the Blogging the Bible site over to a WordPress blog. The look has been much improved, post categories and a tag cloud improve usability, and my new favorite feature–the Bookshelf! The Bookshelf is a page where we list all the books, bibles, study guides, movies, music, etc. that we mention in the posts.

Over the next several days, I will be going through old posts and fixing some broken links and images, but anything new should be no problem. Head over there and leave us a comment and tell us what you think!

We will probably eventually port this blog over to a WordPress as well, but we’ll leave that for another weekend project.

If you’re reading this… [UPDATED]

You’re probably reading our blog through an RSS reader. It seems as though Blogger (the host of our blogs) is having a little issue with its Custom Domain service (why we have www.ryanandsamantha.info instead of ryanandsamanthacorcoran.blogspot.com).

We’re trying to fix the problem, and hopefully we should be back up in a day or two. Sorry for any inconvenience!

UPDATE: And…. we’re back. For some reason, there was an issue with the “Missing Files host”, or, the link that connects Blogger to our file host. After I updated that and changed links from absolute paths to relative ones, we’re back up and running. Sorry for the brief outage!
