About the Indiana Law Blog - going strong as 2005 draws toward a close
- I just finished going through all the ILB entries for 2005, which turned out to a massive task -- there are hundreds of posts each month, some lengthy.
The objective was to digest what I could see from hindsight were the most important posts, and to use them to create a sort of "summary of Indiana law in 2005." Skimming through the entries, I can see the ebb and flow of issues rising, and then sometimes being resolved, sometimes not.
Where will this appear? In the December issue of Res Gestae. - I think of the ILB as an information blog, pulling together newspaper stories of interest from around the state and from outside the state each day, locating and presenting summaries of Indiana-related decisions, quoting relevant press releases and the like, and when possible putting the information in context -- what has happened before, what are some other angles...
- Within the past year or more, a number of interesting political opinion blogs have popped up in Indiana, blogs that use information as a springboard to present a point of view. Some flame out after a month or two, some stay. Currently they number in the dozens.
Two different blogs have appeared within the past few weeks with the stated goal of presenting each day "the best quotes" from these blogs. One came and flamed, it seemed, within a few day period, although its skeleton remains. The other began sometime in November -- I just looked at the site and can't tell exactly when -- and continues on as of December 1st. I wish it well.
- BTW, the ILB has achieved the best stats of its several-year existence this month. Thanks to my long-time readers, and "hey" to my new readers.
