A belated celebratory shout for the new www.BetterBibles.com, the new home of the Better Bibles Blog (formerly found here), one of my favorite blogs on the Web, period—and the inspiration for this blog and many of its posts. In my glee I cooked up a Twitter feed and two widgets for BetterBibles.com and will be turning them over to the powers that "BBB" at that blog:
