New: Place Search in Geocoding

There’s now a search box in the Geocoding section of the site, which lets you search for place names (both ancient and modern) and should make this part of the site easier to navigate around:

A screenshot of the search interface shows a search for Ai with multiple possible results.

The Bible Book Browser (from 2007) also now has a touch-friendly interface:

Obviously AI wrote these features for me. They’re part of a server upgrade: this site is now running on a server that’s twice as fast as the old one.

Also, this blog now uses Hugo instead of WordPress since I don’t need the ongoing pain that is the WordPress upgrade treadmill, not to mention the drama around the 2024 WPEngine controversy. A CMS should be drama-free. There aren’t comments anymore, unfortunately.
