On every page of your site it loads the tagging script from <code>https:\/\/literalword.com\/bible-tagger.js<\/code>. When a visitor hovers a tagged reference, the verse text is fetched from <code>https:\/\/literalword.com\/api\/verse<\/code>. Once per page load the script sends an anonymous usage signal to <code>https:\/\/literalword.com\/api\/tagger-ping<\/code> containing only your site's hostname (so Literal Word can see which sites use the widget); no visitor-identifying data is collected or stored. Tagged links point to passages on literalword.com.<\/p>\n\n<p>The service is operated by Literal Word: <a href=\"https:\/\/literalword.com\/about\">about and contact<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/literalword.com\/terms\">terms of service<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/literalword.com\/privacy\">privacy policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<h4>Easy install<\/h4>\n\n<ol>\n<li>In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins, then Add New.<\/li>\n<li>Search for BibleTagger.<\/li>\n<li>Click Install Now, then Activate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h4>Manual install<\/h4>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Download the plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Unzip it into your WordPress plugins directory (<code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>).<\/li>\n<li>Activate Literal Word BibleTagger on the Plugins page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>That's it.
