Blogevity

By Dan Filler, Laura Appleman et al.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span size="3" style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Thanks, Dan, Kim, Jacqui, et al for the warm welcome to the Lounge!  Ah, yes, I have been doing guest blogs for some time now, as Dan notes, although not quite as far back as 1955.  *Cherry dusts off an ancient tome, opens it, coughs rather loudly*  In fact, I can remember the days before <a href="http://www.concurringopinions.com/">Concurring Opinions</a> even existed, as its founding members were writing for <a href="http://prawfsblawg.blogs.com/">Prawfsblawg</a>... enough with the reminisces of an old time blogger *She closes the ancient tome.*   </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span size="3" style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Rather than the history of the blogosphere, here's my question.  What are the factors that lead to what I'll term "blogevity" -  a blog that remains current, filled with good content, and remains attractive to readers over time?  I realize that the answers might be different depending on whether we are talking about a law blog or a lawprof blog as opposed to other kinds of blogs.  But what factors might help a blog stick around for the long haul?</span></span></p>
