Web Site Changes
My website has not been ranking well in search results, and part of the reason for that is because I use a custom coded, dynamic way of loading pages. When you click links on this site, music can keep playing in the sidebar, and the page doesn't need to completely reload each time.
Web search engines don't really know how to index this dynamic content because it makes use of a lot of JavaScript. JavaScript is a client-side (your side, in the browser) coding language. I've played around with a lot of potential solutions over the years, but with no success. In fact, I found out yesterday that one of those "solutions" was actually making things worse!
But this week I've done a lot of changes to my website so that it behaves in a way search engines like, and yet very little is different in the actual operation for you, the user! I couldn't have done it on my own, I kept a tab open to talk with Grok through out the process. (Grok is Elon Musk's AI on X.com)
Whatever you think about artificial intelligence, it has been a very helpful tool for me in solving problems I don't really understand! In this case, AI has helped me in my mission: ultimately, I want scripture to be more accessible to more people, such that God is more glorified!
There may be aspects of my website which aren't quite right, and I'd love to hear from you if you encounter a bug or error. Shoot me an email using this site's contact form if you find anything broken misbehaving.
Thanks for your support and interest in this ministry!
