Kevin O’Keefe runs a business, LexBlog, specializing in providing services to lawyers and law firms that want to start blogging (or spruce up existing blogging efforts). His blog is Real Lawyers have Blogs. It consistently provides useful news and advice for the growing lawyer-blogger community (a/k/a “blawgosphere”).
So it’s no surprise that, in preparing Blawg Review #125, Kevin chose to focus not on surveying the weeks’ best posts from the blawgosphere, but on providing an encyclopedic, amply linked essay collecting tips and insights from key players in the blogging world in general. The blawgosphere is still somewhat insular, and we can all learn much from these “outsiders.”
If you’ve read a lot of blogs, you may have noticed that some of the most successful and widely read concern blogging itself. This self-referential phenomenon virtually guarantees that Blawg Review #125 will be one of the most widely-read. Cleverly, by not limiting himself to the weekly material, Kevin has created a post that will be read and re-read for years to come — what Yaro Starek calls a “pillar article.”
Whether you’re a long-time blogger, a newbie blogger, or just wondering what the fuss is all about and contemplating jumping in and starting your own blog, this is for you . . . .

Wow George, that’s high praise.
Not sure I deserve it. As I tell folks, I haven’t a new idea in years - just share what I see out there and add my two cents.
