The top Bible reference guide on the iTunes App Store keeps getting better. Bible Promises version 1.6 has just been released, and is available as a free download to all existing Bible Promises users.
Since the original 1.0 launch, users have been asking us for more ways to share promises with their friends and family members, and we've been listening. For version 1.6, we've implemented a new Sharing page which easily allows users to send promises to their loved ones via email and SMS, through Facebook Connect, or to copy a verse to the clipboard to paste in a note or other application.

If you're a developer selling your app through the App Store however, these changes will have a significant impact on how you present and market your app.
So, what's changed and what should you consider doing about it?
In preparation for a talk I was going to give at the last Shanghai Barcamp, I converted a Flash animation class by Grant Skinner to the HTML5 <canvas /> tag. Sadly, I didn't have time to finish the demo before the event so I've decided to post it here with a breakdown on the conversion process from Flash -> web standards.
Follow these steps to have your wordpress-blog's design change according to the users local daytime and weather.
The first step explains how to modify the default wordpress theme. If you don't have a wordpress blog, or use a different theme, skip to step 2!
