Saying (A Snarky) Hello

Via Sean Sirrine I learned about a new law student law blog.  What makes this one special?  Well, the student is getting law school credit for it.  Not bad.

Anyhow, the student solicited advice from several bloggers, and began his request for help as such: 

I apologize for writing a “form email,” but I have collected a large number of email addresses of law student bloggers and it would be too overwhelming to write everyone personally.

If this blogger - who had never corresponded with many of his targets, and who is getting law school credit for his endeavor - considers personalizing an e-mail to even quite a few bloggers "too overwhelming," well.... Let's just say we all have a lot to learn, and I hope our young blogger realizes that to be successful at anything, you sometimes have to do things that at first seem overwhelming.  With that caveat, do say hello to 3L Epiphany.

UPDATE/HINT, HINT, I looked around, and the blog has promise.  Something that would be very useful, and something that a law student earning student credit for blogging might undertake, would be writing an annotated bibliography of all law blogs that, say, have existed for longer than one year and have been updated regularly.  The annotated bibliography (which would be the only such source) would be widely-read, and it's something that people would regularly turn to when they wanted to find out more about blogs.

Thanks for the advice, Mike. You're right, it would be much better to personalize these emails. Just getting my feet wet... Hopefully it didn't cause anyone offense. But I'll take your suggestion to heart. (Although it's too late for today, because I just sent out a similar email.)
My main reason for being overwhelmed was compiling and formatting the list of academic blogging posts that are now up. That, and being a 35 year old with a wife and two young kids, and being a 3L, is pretty overwhelming.
That said, thanks very much for the link, and the "hello."

Thanks for the "thank you." I was just rattling your chain a bit. There are lots of great resources on blogging, by the way. Here is a good post with lots of great tips.

Good work on setting trends in blogging. That's what it's all about, as you can see by my website and related weblawg initially spawned with a general First Amendment purpose in June, then related somewhat more pointedly to a bogus charge of attempted felony extortion.

The moderator here has been following my blawg for some time with mixed reviews.

Now I present a post in response to recent legal developments in my civil case against a certain police chief and the NAACP New Hampshire "leaders" who sold me out that will rock the senses. View it in tandem with the "Oreo" movie -- showing courtroom video and an attempt to shut down my blawg -- and other movies over at my website.

Enjoy. You're not likely to see anything else like it. Law meets Beck, Gil Scott-Heron, motorcycles, streaming car videos ("Sports Friday") and whatever else fits.
