Not that I am at all obsessive about such things, at least not since I forced myself to keep checking down to once a month or so, but out of the allegedly 71 million blogs tracked by Technorati (surely less than half of which are active), Nearly...
I was talking with a friend this weekend, one of the few people who know my secret identity. 'Why', my friend asked me, 'don't you have more about criminal law and practice on the blog?' 'More?', I said, 'I have nothing about Criminal on there'....
