PBB Sermon File: Questions & a Suggestion

I have a couple of blogs that I follow, and have realized that a personal book with the blog entries could be very useful… So I am beginning to use the "sermon file" features of the PBB for the first time. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for setting up the .docx file. I'd hate to get too far down the road and realize that I should have created it some other way. Wink

Also, can anyone explain to the the differences in using the "topics" field vs. the "tags"? What are the implications for using either?

I also have a suggestion… It would be nice if there were a "Sermon File Type" of "Blog" and an "Authors" field instead of just a "speakers."

Here is how I currently have it set up:

Sermon File Type	Illustration
Passages
Topics
Tags	Blog
Date	May 3, 2010
Speakers	Author Name Here
Venues

This is what I would like to do:

Sermon File Type	Blog
Passages
Topics
Tags
Date	May 3, 2010
Authors	Author's Name Here
Website	blog.logos.com

That's the only way it will work in the current implementation; anything else would be a suggestion for UserVoice.

Put a Heading 1 above each table and the blog content after the table. Each blog could be a separate file or you repeat the formatting:-

Heading 1

Table

Also, can anyone explain to the the differences in using the "topics" field vs. the "tags"? What are the implications for using either?

It's best to experiment so you can observe the difference and adapt to your use. Create a test file with at least two blogs.

So far, so good. [:)] I am planning to create a new file for each year, (there are 3-4 post per week since the middle of 2010, so a big challenge!)

Thanks for the link. I had better start playing around before I get too far into the project (I have already added about 30 blog posts).

EDIT: I think I should add "Blog" to the tag field for ALL posts, and add specific topics in the "topics" field. Getting the posts into the passage guide is important!

[quote]The compiler will also automatically generate headwords for the topics, which will be used by the Topics section (for Sermons) and Illustrations section (for Illustrations) of the Passage Guide.

Thanks for the link.

I revised the contents for a wiki article linked to the Personal Books wiki.

Thanks again. My project is coming along well… but slowly. [:)]
