Hey all, I just watned to let you know that I am finally back at they keyboard, and I’ve already started cranking out the next big update. I anticipate one more update, and then a release through the WordPress site.

I started using Trello to track bugs and whatnot as a Project Tracker, I’ve found it to increase productivity in my code work here and all my other projects as well. Check it out at the top under “Sermon Posts > Project Tracker”.

Stay tuned, I’m currently updating the import process, you’ll find it much easier to work with, and much more accurate!

Hello everyone, I know I said I would be back shortly, working on projects that you care about, and I apologize that I have been unable to fulfill those promises.

As past readers know, I got a co-op (like an intern, but longer) at a really great company. The bad news is that there wasn’t any internet nearby (problem solved now) and that it happened very quickly during finals week, so I was bogged down really badly.

Now more bad news keeps piling up: Perhaps you have heard of the Missouri river flooding? Yeah, the river is high. It’s pretty intense. The place I am employed is so badly flooded that they had to shut down their big machinery and go on standby (a very expensive task at this company!) and all the co-ops were requisitioned to flood detail. This won’t change until the river goes back down about two more feet, so…

Anyway, I am not going to make any promises here except one: I have not abandoned this project, and I remain dedicated to producing a plugin to not only replace the old Sermon Browser plugin, but to replace it with something far better.

It’s just that life keeps getting in the way of progress.

Anyway, I really have no idea when I’ll get back to working on this, but if I had to guess it will probably be another several weeks before I can dig into it again. It’s on my to-do list, and it’s even on the high priority to-do list, so…

Hello all, I wanted to apologize for the delays in promised updates.

As you may be aware I am still a university student, and I had to stop working on this during final exams. Immediately after final exams I was offered a great job in another city, so I had to pack up and move. The place I moved to is out into the countryside a ways, so it doesn’t have internet yet.

I talked to the phone company, and they do offer moderate (it’s slow-ish, but reasonable) internet access via a typical DSL phone-modem, so I’ll be setting that up within the next few weeks. Until then, I’ll be working from home and toting from my laptop so I can drag that into town to a coffee shop and commit updates. Progress will be slow until early June, when I get settled into the new job and have internet access.

My next update will be a few repairs and code standardizations, and then I’ll be releasing it via the official WordPress website. Hooray!

Until then, keep on serving the Lord!

Update to fix editing and deleting the preacher, service, and series.

Added support to set a default preacher, service, and series.

I’ll be adding a good “How-To” on this website next, so you can see some of the features you might not have noticed.
