Nice to hear that you're doing something fun. I read your earlier post on how you were bored at that time. It's good that you found something that can push back the boredom and is fun for you. I'm interested in hearing more about it. As rd95 suggests, it would be interesting to see your translations posted here.
Thanks! And it'll be awhile before I can do any real reading on my own, but I definitely will! I actually started a blog recently as a central point for any translations I do (current just to and from Spanish). I have a tag devoted to my Greek learning too, although I expect I'll post a lot of that stuff here too.
Wow! That blog is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. :) I also started a Wordpress blog that has gotten me so frustrated with formatting that I've given up on it for a while. I agree with you about the tumblr non-premium themes, but I really like how easy they are to customize. The platforms are so different as well. Thanks for sharing in that blog about Atom. I want to check it out. I've been looking for a 'distraction free' software for a while now. I'm looking forward to your translations of the Bible. I took a Bible study class from a pastor who would translate the Koine Greek to help dissect the passage. I should probably add here that I'm not a Christian, but I found those studies really fascinating.
For true distraction-free writing, I'd suggest WriteMonkey. It's just no good for translation work since I usually need to have a couple of windows open at a time :) I too have typically enjoyed how easy Tumblr is to set up (especially compared to WordPress), but I struggled to find a tumblr theme that wasn't going to require a lot of customization to be what I wanted. I decided to check WordPress and found some great ones, including the one I ultimately settled on. I'm a long ways from doing Biblical translation that's worth anything, but thanks!
