The only problem with hosting your own website is - so far as I
understand things - that only person can access it at a time. (Can
someone who knows more confirm or deny that, please?) Major suppliers
have multiple servers and access points and so can cope with multiple
visitors. However there is no doubt that your solution is the cheapest
way to go.

I think I am correct in stating that the Raspeberry Pi has limited
memory, so you do not want the extravagant HTML that most commercial
products create (and I am guessing that Wordpress will be no exception).
HTML is extremely simple to learn, CSS is less simple but you can get by
without it.

I suggest that you will not want to comment on each and every verse.
Things might get a trifle repetitious dealing with the lists of names at
the start of Chronicles, for example.

If you want your output to be taken at all seriously, you will need to
polish up your spelling. There are two glaring mistakes in the above
sentence.
