Dear readers,
I've been promising this entry for a while and I apologize for the delay. I've received many e-mails and readers' comments asking how to get a blog on JPost. So here are some guidelines and instructions:
- Have a browse of the JPost BlogCentral homepage to get a sense of what viewpoints and topics are already covered. In doing so, you can form a clearer idea of what you would like to bring to the table. We look for unique subjects where possible (see The Sephardi Perspective, The Persian Abyss, The Other View, The Warped Mirror, Army Life, Living with Rockets and so on) and barring that, a unique take on a topic (see the blogs in the Streams of Judaism category, Window on Israel, Green-Lined, Making Aliyah, Majoring in Aliyah etc)
- Jot down a few ideas for entries and even write a few. All inquiries require two sample submissions so it's good to have a few handy .
- Think of a blog name and a corresponding picture. It will help in shaping your ideas for the blog.
- Write a short blurb about yourself and what the blog will be about.
- The more prepared you are, the more your proposal will be noticed as it will look as if you actually thought about this. E-mails announcing "I want to write about life in Israel" just don't cut it.
- Be ready to commit to frequent postings. It does not have to be daily - like Shmuel Rosner - but keep in mind that the more you post, the more exposure you get, the more traffic your blog generates; everybody wins.

Dear readers,
We hope you've been enjoying the new additions to BlogCentral; there have been many in the last two months and we hope that they've kept things interesting.
First and foremost, we've welcomed Rosner's Domain by Shmuel Rosner who updates daily on a variety of topics to keep you guessing. He has a dedicated following and his posts are always well-written and informed.
We've also introduced The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, a blog on global and Israeli economics and financial developments and trends by JPost columnist Pinchas Landau who decided to try his hand at blogging and whose posts have since been picked up by various business sites.

Nico, Italy: Everibody has the right to live in peace, but each side needs to do their part!
Renny: Further to my previous article I would suggest to the Minister to close the firms bringing in foreign workers thus forcing Israelis to work as he seems to suggst that they don't wish to do so, thus avoiding foreigners to come to Israel and having children here. Until that happens all those borne here should be allowed to stay. If he sends the children back to their country I would like to know how he can continue to claim he is a religious man, I believe we were told to take care of the strangers in our midst, but maybe I didn't ge that right? I am not a religous person but a humane one!!
Cape Town: Having viewed the video of Gilad Schalit - my heart goes out to his parents and his family. I believe that the best way out of this mess is to release all 1000 that Hamas is requesting but do it at a point when the Palestinians are about to have their elections so that we will ensure a large Hamas victory.
The best result of these elections is to have a stong Hamas government, a government whose point of view is clear to all and we do not have to make excuses for our actions thereafter as opposed to having an Abas government that is weak and pretends it wants peace.
