Thanks. No problem having posted about it.

We are still adding some stuff. We just added in the RSS feeds for 
posts for searches and categories, and will be adding in a podcast 
section and a bunch of other smaller changes (eg we removed the 
search word spam) based on feedback. And we are adding lots of 
blawgs. But the core functionality seems to be working ok.

Right now Blawgs that focus on a particular state and for law school 
blogs in the state the law school is in (unless is it obvious the 
blog will not be covering any state specific information (eg Becker - 
Posner's blog is not listed in Illinois)).



My take is the categories are not quite right yet. We plan to relook 
at the categorization once we have more blawgs indexed and see the 
different areas of law they relate to. Then we will go through them a 
few times and fix everything up.

Jon - we have added http://fsulawlibraryblog.typepad.com/
under the Law Librarians & Florida & Legal Information categories

George - we have added the http://sochaconsulting.com/inrediscovery/
under the Technology & Trials and Litigation categories

If there are any additional features people want, just let me know 
and if it is easy (like the RSS feeds) we will have them up quick.

Peace,

Tim
