2011 Pro-Israel Blog-Off
I am very excited to announce the commencement of the Pro-Israel Blog-Off for 2011, my new initative designed to showcase the blogosphere’s best pro-Israel material in a fun and exciting manner.
Bloggers are invited to submit one ”pro-Israel” entry, whether it be a blog post, podcast, or video no older than 1 month. Then each week, I will pit submissions against each other. The winner, decided by a combination of reader votes and panel-determined score, moves to the next round, where they will submit a new entry to compete against another first round winner. The process continues until we get to two finalists competing for an Apple iPad.
I will be taking submissions in the comments to this post until Tuesday 18th January, or until I receive 80 valid entries. An entry is valid if it meets the following criteria:
- It’s focus is on pro-Israel hasbara
- It was submitted by the blogger himself/herself and not by some other party
- It was posted for the first time no earlier than 1 month ago
- The submission is posted in the comments to this post in the following format:
Title of Blog
Title of Post
URL of Post
e.g. Israellycool
Pro-Israel Celebrities
http://www.israellycool.com/2010/09/06/pro-israel-celebrities/
- The blogger has inserted the following badge in their sidebar:

Please spread the word and good luck!

Glad I can read eh? Oh well, hopefully I write better than I read …
My entry is: http://katinchozer.blogspot.com/2011/01/zionist-f…
Not your fault. I added the detail a little after I first posted this.
But your entry is currently not valid. Please include the title of blog, and the title of post in addition to the URL. Also, the badge code you used is not correct.
I used the one in your list – this is from the Blog. Am I doing something wrong?

the code does not work on blogger
And now? (see new code above)
I tired it again and it still doesn't seem to work. It doesn't show up on the blog at all. Sorry. I am placing it in the html gadget box. Does it go in another gadget?
I am not familar with blogger. Meanwhile, I adjusted the instructions in the post.
Got it… great!
I have modified the instructions for inserting the badge, since the code I provided did not seem to work for some. Please see above.
Mate – I think it finally works. Can you confirm my entry is now 'ok'?
Shabbat Shalom.
Yes, it is ok.

Hey Bruce, please place the badge in your sidebar, not the post, per the instructions.
I've tried multiple times to get the badge in my sidebar. Blogger does not make this easy and I cannot figure our how to do so…thus, I added a separate post which i hope is acceptable: http://brucesmideastsoundbites.blogspot.com/2011/…
Please see if you can ask someone to help you. Failing that, I will accept your submission.
BCF mentioned.. so linked. will see if I can come up with a post.

Please add the badge and link per the instructions, or otherwise this submission is invalid.
Whoops – thought I had. The badge and link are up.
It's just under the 'My latest' section.
You nominated your entry at Propagandist so the badge needs to be on that site, and not on your personal site.
Arg – my bad. I'm so used to handling sidebar items from my site I just went into reflex. The Propagandist has an editor that I'll have to consult with first – I hope that's OK. From: [email protected]: [email protected]: israellycool replied to your comment on 2011 Pro-Israel Blog-Off
Just a reminder that I cannot count this submission unless you either:
1. Cange it to the post on your personal blog; or
2. Place the badge with link at Propagandist
Submissions close tomorrow evening Israel time

The blog is entitled A Liberal Defence of Israel. The post is 'Loosening the Belt'. Its url is http://mid-eastplus.blogspot.com/
I cannot enter the picture because my blog is on blogger and I see it won't work there. In any case, I don't know how to put things into the sidebar.
Get back to me if there is anything I can add. The post is something of a spoof, but with a serious message.
Please add the badge and link to the bottom of your post at the very least. You are able to do that with Blogger.
Perhaps you can ask someone else with blogger how to add the badge and link to the sidebar.
I don't know anyone else on blogger, I don't know what your 'code' is, and I've tried to copy the badge, without success. I have put your url and blog after the post and added it to blogs I'm following. Isn't there an easier way to do this? Some of us older folks aren't as IT savvy as the younger generation.
Sorry for the previous difficulties – hope I'm not too late to the show. Reposted the entry on my own site with the side-bar, instead of the original, third-party site.
