&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Mark Herrmann, Jones Day partner and author of the terrific &lt;i&gt;The Curmudgeon&#39;s Guide to Practicing Law&lt;/i&gt;, sounds out on what he&amp;#8217;s learned in a year of blogging.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;His take on the benefits of serious blawging is mildly interesting, but what caught our eye was his sideswipe at presumably lazier bloggers like AbovetheLaw&amp;#8217;s David Lat (and us):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;First, blogging&amp;#8212;or, at a minimum, blogging about substantive legal issues&amp;#8212;is hard. Perhaps it&#39;s easy to host a blog that simply pokes fun at current events by commenting on, and linking to, the news of the day. I wouldn&#39;t know; I&#39;ve never done that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ouch!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As folks who have done a bit of &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt;, we can assure readers that fun-poking is not always as easy as it looks. Besides, even the curmudgeonly Hermann would likely concede that not all blogs can&amp;#8212;or should&amp;#8212;be as deeply serious as one that addresses &amp;#8220;various topics that arise in the defense of pharmaceutical and medical device product liability litigation.&amp;#8221;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I mean, where else can lawyers read and share their views about Denim Day?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;- posted by brian &amp;amp; vera&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;
