StudyShare’s Verse of the Day, now XML Flavored!
One sure way to get your web site mentioned here at Heal Your Church Web Site is to create a web service or a content stream that we can use on our church web sites, blogs and other online media. Which is exactly what I told Troy Farrell when he emailed me the following information:
HTML:
http://www.studyshare.net/light/
XML:
http://www.studyshare.net/light/light.xml
Please comment on the XML format. The URL isn’t permanent, but can be made so quickly. The verse comes from the light ministry by email. A python script parses the email and sucks the data into Zope’s database.
Love the attitude! Troy couldn’t find one so he made one. Cool! And about the only comment I have about the XML is that perhaps you might want to use an RSS/RDF syndication format. Perhaps an additional feed that has five days worth? Other than that - good job! No lie, I was thinking of modifying VerseScrape in a similar fashion to render its content XML but I guess there’s no need to now. Good work Troy!
Keep the web services and data streams coming!
* UPDATE *
Troy just emailed me with updated URLs — update your bookmarks accordingly. He also writes:

Comments and code snippits accepted.
How’s that for a change?-)
Pretty darn’d good Troy! Pretty darn’d good!!
