Now that the new Digg is slowly making its way around the geekosphere, I decided that instead of creating a “demo post” in order to verify its ownership, I decided to highlight 7 reasons why you should digg Israel. Cancer hater: Whether its through innovative chemical warfare, electrical fields or just simply freezing the tumor, Israel has a...

Update: I was contacted by Eric clarifying the requirements of the Kehila Carnival which requires that all participants be Jewish (in ethnicity or faith). Since I do not meet any of those requirements, my inclusion has (understandingly) been revoked. While I encourage everyone to checkout the blog carnival for themselves, IsraGood will no longer link there...

Well, after many weeks of coding, debugging and fighting with plugins (I swear their is a mini civil war going with half of them!) I’ve finally finished customizing the new template for IsraGood (which use to be on Blogger–you can see my former site here). For those wondering this theme was originally designed by Nick Roach of Elegant Themes (aff), who...

Okay, so after some “minor” server issues, I think I figured out why my blog refused to “port over” to my server. I have to contact my host to resolve this, but give me a few hours and the WP site will be up (at least for this blog). Content Copyright 2006-2009 of IsraGood. All Rights Reserved. Violators (and hosts) can be prosecuted...

After months of debate I have decided to switch two of my blogs (IsraGood and Colony Worlds) from Blogger to WordPress. Now I’m not making this decision based on “WordPress is better than Blogger” because IMHO they both have strenghths where the other has weaknesses. Anyways both IsraGood & Colony Worlds will be down throughout the day,...

It looks like I took a longer break from IsraGood than expected! I’m in the process of starting up a few extra blogs, plus writing up posts for several current ones (that I love). As far as personal news goes, my Hebrew classes have ended with Hebrew Online, and I will give some feedback on the good, bad, and great things that I experienced in the class...

Its good to be back in civilization! (by that, I mean a place with a decent internet connection!). After spending half of one week camping in the woods (with minimum to no cell signal) and most of last week in the boonies helping out family (rabbits and dears and bears–but no bars for my phone?) I can say that having broadband connection really does make...

Ever since launching IsraGood, I have been fortunate enough to come across many interesting articles highlighting very impressive (and quite often unparalleled) technologies, medicines and yes, even sports regarding Israel. Unfortunately there is not enough time to highlight all of them, something I attempted to do over on IsraPundit. While it makes me smile...

For those of you fortunate enough to have an iPhone, you will be glad to hear that IsraGood is now iPhone friendly! For those wondering, the mobile site is powered by MoFuse which for about 16 monthly shekels (or $3 USD) is converting all of IsraGood into a format that’s kosher for the iPhone. In order to visit it, users can simply point their iPhone...

It looks as if this blog is experiencing some bugs related to permalinks not showing (at least for most of the articles). Will update post when problem has been fixed. Update: Permalink errors have been resolved (through no power of my own). Also fixed a few cosmetic errors, although one still remains. Will continue publishing articles for today (and...

Just a heads up to everyone reading this. I am not redesigning this sight with a “simpler” look, which should be finished rolling out by the end of the night. I’ll update this post once the update is complete. Update: Redesign complete. For those wondering what’s new on the site (aside from the new template layout), basically I have...

Since I have not had enough time to post here this past week, I published the latest highlights about Israel over at Israpundit. Normal posting should resume on IsraGood later on this week (thanks mainly to Google Calendar) so hopefully I will be able to highlight even more great stories about the holy land. Also, if any readers would like to see their...
