Over 50 folks are already registered with a lot of positive feedback. Guess it goes without saying that law firms' interest in blogging and figuring out how to go about it is an all time high.

We'll cover, among other things:

• What are professional marketing blogs?
• Advantages of blogs for law firms
• Challenges of blogs
• Alternatives for setting up and running a blog
• How much time it takes
• Legal liability and ethics issues
• Getting firm management buy in for blogs
• Which law firms are using marketing blogs
• Your questions

If you can't make it, we'll record the webinar and make it freely available with accompanying screenshots and online demos.

I realize some of you may already be publishing your own blog, in which case the webinar may be too basic. You decide. Those still new to blogs should find the program helpful.

Carolyn who publishes her own blog, My Shingle and is co-publisher of Legal Blog Watch at ALM, regularly writes and speaks on law firm marketing and management for solos and small law firms. Her passion is an inspiration for all of us.

Mark is co-founder of Avvo, a new online lawyer directory that rates and profiles every attorney, so as to help people choose the right lawyer. Though Avvo's drawn resistance by some lawyers, I see a place for consumer driven lawyer ratings. I've also found Mark, a former practicing lawyer and Expedia exec, most sincere in his drive to bring a valuable resource to the public.
