What do readers want?
Question for readers of legal blogs...
Would you prefer:
a) timely, but sometimes infrequent, analysis of recent developments in the law
or
b) well written, but daily posts, on cases and issues from months ago
Feel free to email or comment.

A good question and one I've pondered myself. My own view is that the answer does not have to be along the lines of either or. Depending on the topic and purpose of your blog, I see nothing wrong with blogging about both new developments and past issues, particularly at the moment as niche subject-matter blogs are just getting going. If you limit yourself only to the new, you will probably have less to write about and possibly not be able to exhibit your depth of knowledge in the same way as if you dig a little into the past. Of course there may be some readers who only want the new and not the old, but they'll probably be in the minority, at least at the moment. And in any event, you could get around that issue, if your blogging application creates category feeds, by creating a "new developments" category and publishing its feed. Will be interested to see what other readers have to say on this. www.feedmelegal.com
I prefer (a). I can barely keep up with current events and rarely have time to read stuff from months ago, so would prefer timely stuff.
