About the Blawg
George Lenard began George’s Employment Blawg in May 2003 as an outgrowth of his attempts to keep up with work-related online reading. As the blawg grew, he started reading and posting more about topics of general interest in the employment and HR area, not just employment law.
The blawg quickly gained recognition for its coverage of employment topics in an accessible, easy-to-read format. It has received recognition and awards from around the blogosphere.
Blogroll
George’s Employment Blawg includes an extensive blogroll that lists over 125 blogs covering a wide range of employment and HR-related subjects, organized into several categories.
Using the grazr service, George has created a blogroll window that functions as a mini-browser, which you see at the right side of each page. Using this window, you may browse the blogroll and view headlines of items in various blogs, without having to open a new browser window or leave this Blawg.
To use the grazr blogroll:
- Click a folder to view the blogs in that category.
- Click a blog title to view the blog’s current headlines.
- Click a headline to view the blog post/news item.
- At this point, you may click the headline again to see the entire post at the original blog location in a new window or tab.
- Go backwards at any time using the small left arrow along the left edge of the box.
- Icons at the top allow you to change to a different view mode (there are three available) and to open a full-screen window for easier viewing.
News
The “News” page is another special feature that enriches this Blawg and multiplies its utility. This page is also provided using grazr, in conjunction with two other web tools that utilize RSS.
In the mini-browser window on this page, you’ll find George’s personal selection of news stories, drawn from a wide variety of sources and classified into six categories.
These are not fully automated feeds that indiscriminately provide all the headlines from particular news sources. Rather, they are the result of George’s efforts at picking through a large selection of sources, doing the work of separating wheat from chaff, so you don’t have to.
To use the grazr “In The News” feature:
- Click a category to view the headlines in that category.
- Click a headline title to view a brief excerpt or summary.
- At this point, you may click the headline again to see the entire news item at the original location in a new window or tab.
- Go backwards at any time using the small left arrow along the left edge of the box.
- Icons at the top allow you to change to a different view mode (there are three available) and to open a full-screen window for easier viewing.
Custom Search
This Blawg also includes a custom labor and employment law search engine using Google technology and George’s hand-picked selection of relevant sites, which include government agencies, courts, blogs, and news and reference sites related to labor & employment law.
George hopes you will find the results superior to an ordinary Google search when seeking authoritative labor and employment law information.
