LexBlog is in the process of developing our own blog publishing platform based on an open source content management and publishing system. We’re making excellent progress and expect to roll out the platform in stages to clients over the end of this year and into early next year.

The LexBlog Network continues to grow. With over 3,000 blog authors publishing to over 700 blogs, The LexBlog Network is one of, if not the largest, professional blog networks.

On any given day, The LexBlog Network professionals will publish 150 to 200 blog posts. That’s a real credit to the lawyers and other professionals on the network who are advancing discussion on legal and other business matters.
