The blog is back

Hello everyone,

In the summer of 2024 the shul launched a new website that would help us promote the shul to folks around the Pittsburgh area who don’t know us. The website is great and if you haven’t seen it, you need to check it out (thecarnegieshul.org). However, in the process we lost our blog. Our WordPress blog wasn’t directly compatible with our new site. We struggled with this for many months; our blog was the primary method we used to communicate with our members and friends from week to week. Our new site offered a way to post news, but readers couldn’t comment. Website builders don’t really like blogs because while they present great opportunities for communication, they also open a back door for spammers and hackers.

For the past few weeks we have been working on a new solution. For those are familiar with the technical jargon, we installed our old blog as a subdomain on our new site. If you are reading this, it worked! It looks like our old site, but all the tabs take you to our new site. On our blog site you can search through old posts, search for a name or topic. Most postings focus on news or our members, history, notices of events and holidays, and what’s happening in the neighborhood. There may be some glitches. Let me know when you find them. Some of the old posts from 15 years ago may be lost forever. You can reply to this posting, or see the Contact Us tab. Also, if you know anyone who would like to get the Shul News, there is a place to subscribe on the bottom of each of our website pages.

Our website was constructed by and is maintained by Higher Images in Carnegie. They have been very helpful in getting our blog up and running once again. Be patient with us while we work out the bugs!

Be well, and do good.
Rick
