The 178 photos have, also, been uploaded to Facebook for name tagging. You can access the Facebook album at:

Pictures of the International Jewish Bloggers Convention in Jerusalem

Hi Everyone!

Today, August 20, 2008, I attended the first International Jewish Bloggers Convention in Jerusalem. It was great meeting, face-to-face, the people behind the Jewish Blogsphere.

A big thank you to everyone that worked on making this event a success.

I posted 143 pictures of the convention on my website at:
http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/jerusalem/2008/jer173.htm

I also copied all 143 pictures to Facebook for name tagging.
There are three sets of pictures and the address of the first set is:

If you have a Facebook acccount and you are in the pictures or see someone you know, please feel free to name tag the pictures.

Enjoy the pictures and have a good night,
Jacob
