Welcome to the Thunderdome – Blawger Survivor Begins Today

I have always felt a little guilty about how long I go between posts on CE, and someone’s finally called me (and the rest of the legal community) out on it. 

Last week, CLE-Pro and blogger Sean Carter issued a challenge to the online legal community to enter into a no-holds-barred-blog-posting cage match called “Blawger Survivor“.  The rules were simple:  For the next three weeks, everyone has to publish at least one post per day, and that post has to link to or mention another blog in the competition.  Miss one day of posting, and you’re out.  Make it through the grueling process, and you will be rewarded with the coveted title of “Blawger Survivor”1 and maybe a copy of Sean’s book, which I didn’t know existed but now really, really want.2

So, to anyone who has visited this blog more than once (which in my view makes you a regular), please do not be alarmed by the new ferver with which my posts go up.  I promise that it’s not that labor and employment law information exploded or anything (though that would be nice, if that happened).   I’m participating because I’ve been looking to tweak the focus of this blog a little, and there have been a lot of stories that I’ve just passed up because I was too busy/lazy to write about them.3  I’m hoping Blawger Survivor will give me an opportunity to cover some of these issues and maybe branch out into some areas I wouldn’t otherwise hit.

Oh, and this post notwithstanding, I promise not to sacrifice any quality for quantity.  Unless I’m really tired, or busy.  Or it’s 11:50 and I realize I forgot to post anything.  Or I want to watch TV.

So, if you have any ideas for blog posts, please let me know.  Three weeks is a lot of weeks, as far as blogging goes, and the competition is crazy.  Dan Schwartz at CT Employment Law Blog, whose “I’m-at-a-convention-and-can’t-write-a-post” posts are link-filled novels, already has two substantive posts up today. 

While you’re waiting for me to write something worth reading, why not click on the link to Sean Carter’s blog  and check out some of the other participants?  There’s a list of us in his sidebar.

Wish me luck…
