Word Press Greek Plugin
Inspired by Mike, I’ve produced a Word Press Greek Plugin which parses an XML feed from zhubert to insert NT Greek Bible verses, with lots of additional grammatical information and links into zhubert’s analysis site, into a WordPress blog.
Updated - I’ve released the new version, and updated the link above to point to the new site. To be kept informed about developments, email chris (at) goringe (dot) net.

Hi Chris,
In order to make sure that the Unicode characters supplied by zhubert display properly on the widest range of browsers, you need to make sure that the page which displays the Greek has a meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″ declaration in the head, and preferably that the Greek itself is displayed in a Unicode font that supports the relevant Greek characters - for instance, ‘Arial Unicode MS’, athena, ‘Athena Unicode’, ‘Lucida Grande’, ‘Palatino Linotype’, ‘Cardo’; a full list of such fonts is kept at http://www.tlg.uci.edu/help/UnicodeTest.html
On some browsers/systems, the sample Greek you put on the plugin instructions page currently displays as gibberish.

And another thought…
Look at the first comment on http://scott.yang.id.au/2004/05/scripturizer-for-wordpress/ - a discussion about a different WordPress plugin, but possibly relevant: re. the possibility of a plugin that permanently changes the entry content, rather than dynamically changing it on each display. I wonder about this for two reasons: (1) the performance hit, (2) the possibility of then using ordinary WordPress post editing powers to edit the output - adding punctuation, etc. From a quick glance at the last 20 lines or so of http://xastanford.org/code/scripturizer.phps it looked to a novice like me as if it would not be a massive amount of work to make the change, or even to allow both options…

OK, I should have a reworked version of this plugin (which changes the entry content, and is better in a few other ways) ready in the next day or two.
