What's going on with Maynard's Groovy Bible Tunes, from day to day...
Doing a little research with Google Analytics, and it turns out that no-one clicks the "Jukebox" link in the menu. What "Jukebox" link, you say? Or maybe you say: "What's a Jukebox?!"
There's no "Jukebox" link there now, because I've changed it to "The Songs". I've always called the Songs page "The Jukebox" because I designed it to work like one - there's a button for each song, click a button, and the song you want plays and shows you the lyrics and actions. So I assumed that "The Jukebox" would be a good name for the page and the menu. I guess that people looking for Children's Bible Songs are just not interested in Jukeboxes!!!
Let's see if "The Songs" works better...
Hmm... much to my surprise, the search function wasn't working on the Jukebox. I had fiddled with with way the song lyrics were loaded, and I hadn't realised that this affected how the search worked.
Anyway, I've fiddled again, and it works properly now - try this link:

It should take you to the search results for John 3:16...
NEWS - the alpha became a beta and then went LIVE - the NEW JUKEBOX is in place and completely functional - try it now!
I'm working on a redesign of the jukebox. I want it to be easier to use on tablets and mobiles, and clearer overall.
I've put an "alpha" version up in a test area - have a look and see what you think:
TEST JUKEBOX
Beware: lots of bits don't work yet - but you should be able to listen to music and read words!
Went on the website this morning to check the actions for "It's treasure", and... there weren't any!
Argh!
So - after successfully doing actions with KS1 at school this morning, I've now put them up on the Jukebox - "It's treasure" on the Jukebox
I've been working on the Jukebox so that it works much better on Android devices, and probably iThings too.
