Wow! One Month Of JewsByChoice.Org
Well it’s kind of hard for me to believe but JewsByChoice.org has been up and running for over a month now and it’s been a blast! We have a really awesome group of people blogging some great stuff that has generated IMO intelligent discussion. And I for one am extremely pleased with everything. We are now well over 21,000 words and have (as of today) 29 posts and 181 comments which in my opinion is very impressive considering none of us are superstar Jews.
In terms of visits we hit well over close to 1400 in our first month and I expect are going to break the 1500 mark either later today or tomorrow (but remember no blogging on Shabbos! LOL). Sure this might be small potatoes compared to some of the other bigger blogs but it’s far beyond what I expected in our first month and as I previously mentioned I’m extremely happy about it.
Just in case some of you haven’t figured out what the blog is all about based on the name, here’s a snippet from our about page.
JewsByChoice.org (launched October 2007) is a grassroots, peer run, group blog focused on providing Jews by Choice (as well as other interested parties) with opportunities for exploring, discussing and engaging with Jewish Identity, Tradition and Culture.
If you’re a fan of this blog (even just a little bit of a fan) please add JewsByChoice.org to your blogroll and consider doing a post letting your readers know about us. We really are trying to build a great community here and want to include as many people as possible, so any help in spreading the word is greatly appreciated.
Also I have a technical problem and I’m wondering if anyone reading this might be able to help. I have tried to add JewsByChoice.org to Jrants several times now and although I can register it doesn’t seem to be adding me. I don’t think it’s a question of being censored/screened off of the site. I just think that there’s a glitch either on their end or something to do with our RSS feed. I don’t know how to get a hold of the Jrants people so I’m hoping someone reading this can help. If that’s you please feel free to send an e-mail via the contact page.
Be well and thanks for helping to make our first month a great one!
