Helen Brown Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 (edited) David is obviously enjoying the outlet of writing for the Accordance Blog. His articles are extremely useful, and many would have a place in this Forum as they have great tips. However, on the blog itself it's not easy to find older articles except by plowing through the Archives. It's a lot of work to transfer the articles, especially at the rate they are coming out, so for now I am going to link to them from here, for your convenience.

Helen Brown Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Just cannot rein David in! He keeps coming up with great new ideas for the blog. Obviously he has found the one thing he really loves to do, almost as much as he loves to prod the development team to improve and expand Accordance. Anyway, it's all I can do to keep this list updated from time to time with links to the most useful posts that are actually tips for users.

Ron Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Helen, When you say use the `command' key, is that the control button? How do I buy the Users Guide Book? I'm struggling to get under way with projects. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 No, the command key is the technical name for the key with the Apple and flowery symbol on it. Its located between the space bar and option/alt key. Generally it is used for most commands, hence the name. For instance, command-S saves, command-C copies, etc. On the other hand, the control key controls the current functionality of the keyboard, often creating contextual menus (ala a right-mouse button) or different characters on the keyboard. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Brown Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 I have added some more of David's blogs to the list: it really is worth keeping an eye on the blog because it is hard to follow if one just digs around in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 I have gleaned the most useful posts from another 10 months of blogs, and added them to the list above. Please let me know if I missed one of your favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahshuwah Hawthorne Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Its been about a year, do you have some more blog highlights for us Helen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRASLAN Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 the link here only take you to Accordance home page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Rich Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Steve is correct. The links simply open a new Accordance Home Page. They are not currently links to the blog articles. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 I am sure the links changed because we moved the website. Sorry, I simply do not have time to relink them right now, but the Blog search is working well now, so they should not be hard to find. Doesn't the blog look and work well now?

Daniel Peters Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I was just searching through the tips and I think this page contains mostly broken links. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Stock Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I couldn't find any links that worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Gustason Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 That's because they moved the blog. Go to the blog and search for the title you want. http://www.accordancebible.com/blog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuitrider Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 David's blog posts are very informative and are a great tool for taking the Accordance experience deeper. It would really be nice to have these tips organized by topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stringer Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) It would really be nice to have these tips organized by topic. I agree! As I was responding to another post that asked about learning how to study the Bible using Accordance, I pointed him to the excellent index of Podcasts. I also wanted to point him toward some blog posts, but found that the archive list was very difficult to wade through, as Helen pointed out. I even went to the search function on the Accordance web page, searched for "study", then selected the "Blog" option at the top of the list of hits (which were initially all products). The result was that it found NO ITEMS! I know that's not true, so somehow the search function is not properly scanning the blogs. Are the blog posts topically tagged? If not, that would be a great first step toward categorizing them and providing an index similar to the one that's available for Podcasts. There's far too much good information in those blog posts to let them sit hidden in the archives! Thanks! -Scott Edited August 26, 2012 by Scott Stringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fharwood Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Just joined the forum since I had an idea this morning before church and couldn't get it to work. I'm hoping someone has an idea about this type of search. I woke up at 4:33 AM four days in a row and decided the Spirit wanted me to find a reference or references to share on. I couldn't figure out how to do a search for all the "4:33" verses in the Bible. *4:33 didn't seem to work as the reference was looking for a book. Any ideas? Thank you.

Ken Simpson Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hi, I see there are no responses yet, and there are many be cleverer people than I out there, but I must admit I don't know how you can do this in Accordance. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Sorry, the site search engine is in transition. We have a new engine in place which is mostly working much better for products but not at all for articles and blog posts. The techs are working on it and we hope to see improvements this week. (The previous search depended on Google and we had no control over it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcanemuse Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I have the same sort of thing going as fharwood. I stumbled on his post by accident but I am trying to do the same thing except I am looking for 3:16 in every book of the Bible. Obviously I am too stupid to figure it out, I was hoping somebody else had by now. Maybe there is no way. I guess I might just have to go through every single book and copy and paste the verses but it would be nice if the program could just put them all in a nice list for me. If I don't hear anything back then I will assume it is just impossible and go about it the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
