2009-02-19 Links File Update Released

Following not long after release of the new version of the 3-lines site and coming just before the God’s Love book starts to be studied at the Book Study, the 2009-02-19 Links file update has been released. Those of you who are on the list to receive email updates have been sent an email with directions on how to obtain this updated file. If you have not received this email update and would like to, email me about receiving the update and getting added to the mailing list.


I recommend that the included directions.html file be read first. Besides including instructions and examples on how to use the Links file, this file also discusses its redistribution.


The Links file is used by downloading its zip file from the web page linked to in the email, extracting it with the supplied password, saving it to a drive, and opening it in a modern web browser like Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Opera. After you open it, you may want to bookmark it or add it to your Favorites for easy retrieval later on.


New and updated resources are listed under the *** NEW *** and *** UPDATED *** index headings.


New resources this time around include:

  • Cantonese 3-line material (Jyutping, Sidney Lau, and Yale romanisations) for the God’s Love book

  • The New Fields New Challenge web site, with instructional material used by language-learners in Aberdeen, Scotland

  • The Spanish version of tiandi.info

Among the sites that were updated:

  • The 3-lines site has been moved to 3lines.org, and it has received a design refresh. Also, as noted in previous posts, God’s Love book audio files and Spanish 3-line files are now available from there.

  • The “door to activity” site has been moved.

  • The pinyin God’s Love book 3-line material download page has seen regular updates, which are expected to continue.

  • WM-Dict version 2.0 recently became available.
