A recent comic strip in "Pearls Before Swine" by Steve Pastis, made me rethink the "blog/blawging" issue.

If you are thinking of blogging for law, then you might rethink your reasons.

Fun?  Have at it.  It's all about you and keep it enjoyable.

Regular postings?  Essential for committed readership and feedback. And thus a potential "black hole" for time.

Marketing your professional standing in the legal community?  Then think carefully about your content and don't post posts with cartoons like this.

Advertising?  Read the advertising rules carefully.  Now, you are treading close to your law license.

Profit?  If financial profit, then think again as it looks like this little piggy from the cartoon won't be going to the money market and somebody else may be bringing home the bacon.
