My friend asked for a few posts on time management. “I don’t understand how you find time to cook, raise children, manage the house and write so much.”
At the blogging event last night at Baila’s in Modiin. I promised to help bloggers become more creative. I don’t know whether I kept my promise, but I woke up full of new ideas. I hope the rest of you feel the same.
Some of you mentioned that blogging has gotten harder. Perhaps your interests have changed, or you’re done saying what you wanted to say. Even if you have fresh ideas, your style or approach might be stale. You feel it and your readers do too. It can be hard to break out of a pattern that used to work. Even if you succeed, you worry your readers might resist change.
Join bloggers from all over this Sunday at Baila’s in Modiin.

See you there!
On Saturday evening, I attended the second Israeli Blogger’s Evening at the home of Sarah Melamed of Foodbridge.
Guest speaker Jacob Share started his blog, Job Mob, after noticing that he had an easier time getting job interviews than his friends did. He decided to share his expertise through a blog, even though he knew little about them. After three years JobMob.co.il is among the ten most popular job search sites, with 1.5 million page views in 2009.
I can’t possibly convey in print all of the warmth, enthusiasm and encouragement provided by Jacob Share throughout the evening, but I can pass on some of his wisdom and experience:
Israeli Bloggers: Are you looking to increase your blogging expertise, network with other bloggers, and reach a large audience?
The second Israeli Blogger’s evening will take place this Saturday, December 26, at 8 PM. Note: If you wish your blog URL to be included in the advance list of participants, you must register by Tuesday evening.
For those who have already registered: Jacob Share will take questions by email until midnight Wednesday.

Linking to your old posts is called internal linking. Here are some tips for drawing readers back into your blog and increasing traffic.
Why Include Internal Links?
After a successful blogger’s evening hosted by Israeli Kitchen in Petach Tikva, we are travelling to Nes Tziona. Nes Tziona is south of Tel Aviv, between Rehovot and Rishon Letzion.

Hayim Ozer Street, Petach Tikva
Like Ilana-Davita, I copped out of NaBloPoMo. By the time I got home from a meeting last night, getting into bed took higher priority.
In the older, Blogger version of this blog, I listed popular posts in the sidebar. I’d appreciate input to do the same here. What do you think I should include? It can be a post with a memorable discussion or useful information, or perhaps (I hope) one that touched you in some way.
[The first paragraph from my previous post was left out by mistake:
I decided to join Phyllis and Robin (and Baila!) on NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) where you post every day for the month. I'm a day late, but never mind. In addition to my usual topics, I will be sharing pictures from around town. Petach Tikva is full of modern artwork, some good and some notoriously bad. I'll be focusing on the traffic circles, each of which has a unique sculpture or landscaping.]
