Hello everyone, you may have noticed lately that we haven't been advertising this site much and that is because we decided that we aren't quite ready to launch, but we will as soon as 1000 people sign up for it.  We don't really want to hit that number yet because we aren't quite ready to launch yet, but please still invite your friends and neighbors and anyone you know who is Catholic to sign up.  Lately it has been hard to work on the site because our team consists of less than five people.  We will probably not be creating our site super fast, but probably pretty fast for how many people we have.  We are also busy with other stuff because this site was made by volunteers like myself.  I am probably going to be the main poster on this blog, just because I like doing these things more, but so far, here are the latest updates:

• The Bible:  We have now added another chapter of the Bible, Genesis chapter 5.  Now all of the Bible we have so far is just Genesis 1-5.  It will grow though.  Sometimes it will be slow and other times multiple chapters may be added in a day.  Eventually we will have the entire Bible on this site.
• ID Numbers:  We have added ID Numbers to the verses on the Bible chapters that we have up so that if you just put a # and the verse number you want at the end of the URL, it will go there for you automatically (e.g. http://catholiccorner.99k.org/mark-ch-1.html#5 will scroll to verse five of Mark Chapter one for me).

We are still working on the site search, we believe once we create and upload our sitemap that the search should search more thoroughly and give better results.  We are working on creating the sitemap as well. 

That is all for now, have a blessed day!

Welcome to Catholic Corner

Welcome to Catholic Corner, a corner of the internet that belongs solely to Catholics. Of course other religions are welcome here too; we love to have visitors! Here you can find prayers and the Holy Bible, and soon some other things like the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

We are currently in the very early stages of this website but we are constantly updating. Since the birth of this site on June 6th 2010, we have come a long way. Just today we implemented the news bar at the top of the page, along with the search box right above that. On almost every page, we have a Disqus commenting system for you to discuss the prayer or Bible chapter, or whatever it is. There are also like and dislike buttons on those page for the obvious reason of liking or disliking something. Today we also created a blog for this site which will mostly be used for telling you about updates made to the site. So far the updates are as follows:

• The Bible: We have added Genesis chapters 1-4 and the title page, alas because the site has not launched yet, it is not yet viewable to the public.  The Bible is an Ignatius Revised Standard Version (RSV).
• The Design: Of course the wonderful, yet simple design of the site along with the logo and icon.
• The News Bar:  This can be found at the top of all the pages right underneath the logo, it will be updated frequently, letting you know the newest news about Catholic Corner and maybe some other stuff as the site progresses.
• The Search Bar:  This can be found right in between the news bar and the logo.  For some reason, it doesn't give you all the results you may be looking for, we are thinking it may be because our site has not been completely indexed yet, as we are still making many changes.
• Prayers:  Currently we only have one prayer on our site, and that is a novena to Saint Joseph.  We are planning on putting up many more prayers in the future and let you post your own; however, right now, we are more concerned with getting the whole Bible on the site, so be patient.
• The Comments Box:  This can be found at the bottom of the page (under the blue box).  Please feel free to leave any comments you may have about whatever you are viewing.  Please note that inappropriate comments will be flagged as such and furthermore, deleted.
