Best Subtitle for a Blog...

Via Austin's own M1EK, I ran across a Penn State football blog titled "Run Up The Score".

I don't know how long the blog has had this under its name, but the currently "disgruntled" fan has subtitled the blog...

We Put The Turd in Saturday

Priceless.

Adding a Nice Touch to Your Blog Post

Great example of "adding a nice touch" to your blog post done by Brett Duncan.  I thought about posting the image he uses here, but I think it'll have more effect if you click through to his post.

The post is subtitled "The Pitfalls of a Blog," and it's from his 90 Days of blogging series.  Yes, I suppose you have to be of a certain age range to appreciate it, and perhaps being an old Atari 2600 fan would help too, but it works even if you don't get the joke... and, again, it's just a "nice touch" for those who do get it.

Taking some time to make a post "just right" can add alot of effectiveness to your blogging, and of course, the ultimate goal, increase your blog readership.

Blog of the Day: American Tradition

Poker author Gary Carson’s American Tradition blog gets the nod for Blog of the Day.

Gary has been very generous in linking to my other blogs, and anyone interested in poker (as I am) should check out his poker books, The Complete Book of Hold ‘Em, and The Complete Book of Casino Poker (as I have).

California Appelate Law Blog

Ventura California lawyer Greg May has recently started an Appellate Law Blog that looks very promising, and has been added to my RSS reader.

HIs latest posts asks whether Wiki's may soon be cited in legal opinions (since blogs have already made their way in).

Citations to blogs should not be too surprising.  Most are, after all, commentary.  While not as formal or thorough as a law review article (to put it mildly), the principle behind citing a blog is not, to my mind, much different than citing a law review article, at least where the blog is well-reasoned.

Is similar treatment in store for the legal wiki?  A wiki is different from a blog because virtually anyone (though that can be restricted by registration) can edit, add, or remove content, often anonymously — as anonymously as the Internet allows, anyway.

Well written blog.  Blogging lawyers would do well to keep track of this new 'blawg'.

Blog of the Day

The Spy Who Billed Me; Outsourcing the War on Terror by Dr. R. J. Hillhouse gets my first nod as blog of the day. 

Good looking design, and an outstanding name for a blog.  Best named blog I've run across in 6 months easily.

First Post

Blog #3 (after Austin Criminal Defense Lawyer and Austin DWI Lawyer) has been in my mind for awhile now.

Basically, there are plenty of things I want to blog about, that aren't appropriate for those blogs, and this will be my forum to do it.
