Add Websites to the Logos Shortcuts Bar

I was reminded this week that new users join the Logos family every day. And what is a “yesterday” tip for me (and perhaps for you too) is an “ah ha!” feature for a newcomer. With that in mind, I offer this oldie but goodie.

A Logos user contacted me recently, explaining that he used several websites in his Bible study and sermon preparation. Was there, he asked, an efficient way to jump from Logos to a website?

Yes, there is, and here’s how to implement it:

• Open Logos and your web browser.
• Arrange the Logos and the browser windows onscreen so that you can see both at once.
• Navigate to a website.
• Drag the website’s icon from the browser’s address bar to the Logos Shortcuts bar.
• Repeat the above two steps for as many websites as you want.
• Click a Logos shortcut icon to jump to that page.
• Right click a shortcut icon and select Delete to remove it.

Here are some suggested websites:

• Of course, Logos.com and MPSeminars.com
• Logos’ new online community wrapped around the Word, Faithlife.
• Your church, school, or ministry
• A site for illustrations
• A biblical-words pronunciation site such as http://netministries.org/Bbasics/bwords.htm.
• An online dictionary and thesaurus such as Dictionary.com.
• A favorite blog

Remember that these shortcuts will synchronize to your other computers using Logos’ desktop version, so you only have to create them once.
