		<description>You should also include in this list Ann Althouse&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://althouse.blogspot.com/2006/05/is-there-left-right-division-about.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://althouse.blogspot.com/2006/04/audible-althouse-47.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;podcast&lt;/a&gt; on the subject of mixed blogging.  She openly argues that her blogging is art, not law.

My general approach is to let a million flowers bloom when it comes to law professor blogging. But that does not mean that every blog by a law professor is a law blog (or an art blog). When I did my Opinio Juris &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opiniojuris.org/posts/1141753686.shtml&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;summary&lt;/a&gt; of the most popular law blogs, I was faced with the very difficult and controversial issue of defining a law blog. Everyone seems to agree that the wildly popular blogs &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.instapundit.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Instapundit&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://hughhewitt.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hugh Hewitt&lt;/a&gt; are not law blogs. Thus, we recognize that there is a line somewhere. But what about other mixed bloggers? Ian Best had similar struggles in his 3L Epiphany taxonomy of law blogs that he discusses &lt;a href=&quot;http://3lepiphany.typepad.com/3l_epiphany/taxonomy_omissions/index.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; on &quot;taxonomy omissions.&quot;  My leaning was and is to argue that any blog that does not have a majority of posts about law is not a law blog. That&#039;s why I excluded Ann Althouse and a few other blogs in my list, but included in the list other mixed bloggers who seem to have a majority of posts that are law related. I would love for there to be a general consensus about what constitutes a law blog, but right now there isn&#039;t.  If mixed bloggers who primarily focus on topics other than law resisted the temptation to be called a law blog, the problem would solve itself.
