Two Million

I just realized I had my 2 millionth unique visitor a few days ago.
2 million in a little over 5 years (I’ve been blogging for over 6, but installed the Sitemeter counter mid 2004).
While that doesn’t quite qualify Israellycool for the big leagues, I’m not going to get greedy. 2 million is certainly nothing to [...]

Blog Plastic Surgery

As you can see, I am trying out a new theme, not just for aesthetic reasons but also to reduce page loading times.

Israellycool Forum

I am very excited to announce the new Israellycool Forum.
Given the evident interest in entering into deep and interesting discussions, plus the obvious need to have a central locations where answers to the thorny questions can be posted, I have created this forum.

Close to Pulling the Plug

Still hardly any comments on posts, and traffic has remained at pretty much the same level for over two years.
And let’s be honest – while this blog exists in pursuit of a higher goal, there are now many blogs [...]
