New Resource: Imitate Bk. (Pīnyīn, Scriptures, Web) Pages

Last month, in response to user input, I began thinking about producing Pīnyīn and Pīnyīn-English web and EPUB material for the Imitate book. I eventually wrote out my conclusions and posted them here:

• Reasons for Imitate Bk. Pīnyīn, etc. Material

Now, the first Pīnyīn web material for the Imitate book has been posted:

• Imitate Bk.
   (Pīnyīn, Scriptures, Web)
   (proofread, mobile-friendly, picture links,
   device to landscape ▶ large print)
• Imitate Bk.
   (Pīnyīn, Scriptures, Web, Night Theme)
   (proofread, mobile-friendly, picture links,
   black background, grey text,
   device to landscape ▶ large print)
• (Short link: tiandi.info/ia)

For now, the above resources contain material covering the timeline and the maps on the inside covers of the Imitate book. More material will gradually be added as time allows.

Note that:

• The material in the above resources has been carefully rendered and proofread.
• Since the Imitate book may get revised, the material in the above resources has been checked against the Chinese Imitate book material on the WOL. If you notice that some changes need to be made to the material in the above resources to bring it in line with revisions to the Imitate book, please email me to let me know.
