This is my first blog entry. This is really more of a test so there will be nothing profound here. There may never be. This is mostly a blog dedicated to the interaction and application of computers to the field of biblical studies, especially textual criticism. There are several reasons for starting this blog, first and formost, this software was free. It came with my web host. All the cool people are doing it so, hey, I want to be one of the cool people. Secondly, I am working on a free-for-all, online program to aid in biblical studies that will appear eventually on www.textcrit.com, the main domain for this blog. I am not sure when the first version will be available. Soon, I hope, but it is a lot of work. In a few days I will write a longer blog entry about what I am working on but for now this is just a test of the blog software.
