The LDS web community is strong, but sometimes gets lost in the sea of the World Wide Web. Now, thanks to a new toolbar made just for the community you can get to the web’s best LDS resources faster and easier.

The toolbar, which works in Internet Explorer and Firefox, includes a directory of LDS sites (including this one), direct links to the Scriptures online and includes a cool search function that allows you to search the sites in the directory directly from the toolbar. Oh, there’s LDS radio too.
