UK Blawg Roundup #7 – and the future of legal blogging
The British blawg / law blog Welcome to the June 2011 UK Blawg review, a quarterly round up of British Blawgs (legal blogs) and discussion. In the last Blawg Reivew, Brian Inkster took the past as his theme. Speaking from his newly materialised Time Blawg, he took us on a journey back into the mists…
A new Headway design for the Solicitors Online Blog
The Headway blog theme For some time, the design of this blog has been rather boring, essentially just dark blue and white. It was running the fabulous Headway theme but only version one. The reason for this is that I had had problems upgrading. Indeed I had tried to upgrade one day only to have…
Norfolk Sole Practitioners launch Independent Law Network group blog
Sole practitioner collaboration Last year I joined a group of sole practitioners, called the Independent Law Network. They have been meeting up together for a couple of years now.

I have therefore started an experimental new service for lodger landlords. My existing service, Landlord Law, does cater for people renting a room to a lodger, but…
Another new plugin – comment luv
I’ve found another great plugin, although its got a bit of a silly name, and a soppy heart logo. Its called ‘comment luv’ (I said it was silly), and what it does is give a link back to the most recent post on your blog commentators blogs. I learned about it from the Blogussion site here….
How green is your web-site?
Using the internet seems a bit like magic. You click on your computer and the fruits of knowledge of the whole world are at your fingertips. Just like that. And now we are told that we do not even have to store information on our own machines – we can store it all ‘in the…
Learning from the Masters
When I wrote my earlier post here, I said I had been doing a lot of research. In this post I set out some of the sites that I have been using. Probably the best blogging site is Problogger which is written by Australian blogger Darren Rowse. He is a full time professional blogger who…
