Good news, for everyone, especially me.
We have made some leaps on the new BibleCounts.com website. By tomorrow we will start placing the basic design of the core site. This includes the registration, user tracking. etc.
Over the next month we will start integrating the core BibleCounts quiz/testing and scoring systems as well as the point tracking system.
The initial test design for ages 5-12 will be updated first. We have Mathew through Luke completed and will expand those quizzes as we get response from our users and testers.
So far, Preston, Debbie and I have created the entirety of the content. Mostly through our own family devotional time. We are doing this in our free time, as a family, so please, be patient. I have developed the core site code by modifying a WordPress back-end and adding tying in an education/training engine. So my frustration level has been a little high as I combat bugs, design issues etc.. However, as we accomplish more and more, I get excited and with the Grace of God this will be completely worth it as it grows in popularity.
We will happily accept help in the form of comments, encouragement, prayer, other programmers or even data-entry as we need to get quiz data entered. Our current method (to make it easier for those that are familiar with basic office computing) is to enter the questions, answers, and Scripture reference into a spreadsheet. That data is then imported into our SQL database for site consumption. Also if you wish to contribute Quiz content, I am sure other passes through The Bible by others will undoubtedly create new question/answer combinations that could be used for expanding the tests.
Thank you for taking the time to catch up. I welcome your comments and conversation.
