What's new....
Launch date
Now we've got the calendars and chronologies working, we hope the site will be ready to take subscribers in a few months' time. We're full speed ahead with entering events and content in the book.
We know this is what we've been saying for a few months now! We've just spent some time in Israel getting video footage of locations to enhance the descriptions of Bible Events, so this has delayed us a bit.
Chronologies
We've added more chronologies for the Times of the Gentiles and Daniel's Seventy Weeks. This is amazing stuff - at last we're able to show when Daniel's key prophecies are fulfilled.
We've found out much more about the Solar 360-Day Calendar. This calendar has 7 intercalated months every 40 years to keep it in line with a 365.25 Solar Julian Calendar, and is used by the two chronologies for the Times of the Gentiles.
We've also projected the starts of the Lunisolar Autumn and Spring Calendars and the Solar Jesus Calendar back to creation. The year start of the Jesus Calendar that year falls on the first day of creation week which explains many things that we'll explain in the book soon.
We're hoping to make some more events public soon.
Public Home Page
We keep redesigning this ready for launch. It's what you see when you first visit the site. It has to cater for new visitors and subscribers who use the site all the time and have come to login.
We want it to be simple and modern. We want new visitors to be able to find out what the site does quickly and easily, so we've tried to make the Tour and Previews prominent and easily accessible.
We've added some nice JavaScript panels on the front page that tell you what's in each area of the site.
Subscribers' Home Page
This is the page subscribers see when they first login, and normally they won't see it again. All it does is to tell subscribers what new content there is on the site.
We've done away with a complicated dashboard. The five "tabs" across the top provide access to most of the site. We hope the site's fairly intuitive to use, and the key areas are easy to get to from anywhere.
Events
Our main job now is to write up all the events - there's about 400 that we can include straight away. Later on we want to include short video clips for many of the event to make it easy to follow the notes, but it's time-consuming and we're a small team. Hopefully we'll be able to continue enhancing the notes in the months and years ahead.
The Book
There's so much we can write about. The beauty of a website is that we can keep adding to it and everyone gets access to the new stuff straight away. We've got a lot of material for the book already in draft form, so hopefully we'll get a lot of it edited and up there soon.
