Of Tags, Translation and Gender
Posted on July 16, 2010
There are two new settings on the profile page: you can now specify your gender so that we no longer have to refer to you with the genderless pronoun "their". Instead of seeing "Mary has memorized their 100th verse" you will now see "Mary has memorized her 100th verse".
Second, you can now pick your preferred translation. Currently, the only effect this will have is that the tag cloud (now looking a little more cloudy) will show verses in your preferred translation (if they are available in the system). In other words, if someone using the King James Version has tagged Genesis 1:1 with the "Creation" tag, you will see the verse in the NIV version (if that is your preferred translation) even if no one has tagged the NIV version of the verse. It sounds a lot more complicated than it is, but it should make the tag cloud a lot more useful when searching for verses based on a theme. So keep on tagging verses because it's a great way to give back to the community and remember to recycle tags when you can.

Andy, could you possibly make a post that would be a springboard for conversation about the different translations available? I don't know how edifying that would be, but I think it would be fun and encouraging in some respects.
Or maybe I'm taking too many liberties with this 'open forum'. . . . ; )
Let me know,
Thanks,
River
great! i will totally use that!
i've alreaddy put in my gender and stuff but
i cannot find out how to do the stuff with the tag cloud.
i know how to do verses not translations though.
Andy, today when I clicked on several of the tags in the Tag Cloud I was taken to a page that said: The page you were looking for doesn't exist. You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved. I don't know if it has something to do with moving the page or what, but I thought I would let you know.
Matthew - Thanks for mentioning that. It will be fixed in the next release (hopefully sometime next week).
Um, quick question.....I was wondering how exactly to tag a verse....am I missing something or are there any specific instructions for tagging verses? Thanks ;)
@Hannah - This blog post should answer your question.
